The answer

It is recommended to undergo the necessary medical examinations for the reproductive system. If it is found that the male reproductive system is natural, then it is not permissible to undergo the change operation. However, if the examinations show that the reproductive system is female despite the male appearance, then there is no harm in performing the operation. For treating psychological issues, it is recommended to be patient, seek refuge in Allah, associate with righteous people, seek Allah's protection from Satan, and consult a trusted psychiatrist.
