It's not quite that simple.

When a person is born they are assigned a sex based purely on their external genitalia - sex is biosocial, we assigned sex based on our understanding of sex in human beings (e.g. penis = male / vulva = female). Sex is actually a combination of external genitalia, internal genitalia, secondary sexual characteristics, hormones, chromosomes, and the mind - it's not as black and white as male/female as there are intersex people and some trans people are born with minds that don't match the rest of their sex characteristics (e.g. a person with a penis may have a 'female mind').

Gender is social, we raise someone to be a specific gender based on their sex - e.g. males as boys and females as girls, but not everyone's gender will match the sex they were assigned at birth also there are more than two genders. When it comes to gender it's not something you are born as or really something you chose, it is just something that you are...a cisgender person is not born their gender and do not chose their gender, it's the same with most transgender people.

Can someone be born a transsexual?

Yes. Most with transsexualism are born that way, they usually knew they had it before age 6, and they get the surgery to stop having transsexualism. The condition of transsexualism is not the same as the lifestyle of transgenderism. Transgender is mostly a choice and is a fairly recent concept. Transsexualism is a diagnosis while transgenderism is mostly a self-identity.
