Should a girl who doesn't feel her femininity, prefers male appearance and behavior, has hirsutism, does not menstruate, has weak female organs, and strong inclinations toward girls, undergo gender reassignment surgery?

Gender reassignment is one of the great abominations and is impermissible except in cases of extreme necessity, such as when medical examinations show that the reproductive system is male despite a feminine appearance. In such a case, the objection of parents is not to be considered, because obedience is only in what is right.
