When Jewish laws where made, there was no such thing as "Gender Reassignment surgery". Successfully completing that surgery without the medical technology of today is impossible.
There is a strong belief that harming one's own body is wrong, so one can argue that a surgery of that kind, which is very painful and causes great physical harm, is bad to do.

Is there any treatment for transgender people?
No. Transgender is neither a disease nor a physical condition. There is a diagnosis that might be applied called "Gender Identity Disorder" or GID. Generally those with GID are persons awaiting Gender Reassignment Surgery. Neither is being transgendered a sin or even "wrong"; a person's self-perception (including sexual/gender identity) is never what we see, it is deeper than flesh and bone.
Does Christianity consider gender reassignment surgery a sin?
There is absolutely no teaching on this matter either in scripture or what has been revealed by The Holy Spirit since the beginning of Christianity. However, one must look to the teachings of Jesus to find a possible answer. He made it very clear that it is not what goes into a body that makes the body unclean. Nor should we worry about the body, or its appearance, as he compared the human to the lilies of the field which were beautiful and yet did not toil to buy fine clothes, a good'image' or a perfect body. Of course he was refering to things hat mattered in those times, but the general thrust of his argument is that the body is not important. What IS important is the content of the human heart. To humans someone like Mother Theresa might have been a wizened old lady, but to God the content of her heart made her beautiful in his sight. To some prejudiced people gender reassignment surgery might be considered purely cosmetic like a 'nose job' or breast enhancement, and purely done for appearance. In this case they would see it as a sin as that money could be spent for better purposes rather than because of someone's own vanity, and it would not fit in with the teachings of Jesus (see above). However, the vast majority of Christians would see gender reassignment surgery far from being purely cosmetic, but see it as a necessary procedure if someone feels trapped in the wrong gender and is no different from surgery necessary for any disease or condition. Therefore it cannot be consiidered a sin.
