Aren’t you pretty much born trans? We have a rather poor understanding of why people are transgender, but AFAIK what we do know points to it being already determined at birth.
For those who are unfamiliar with the science: Being trans is considered a developmental disorder nowadays. It is mostly likely due to an imbalance of sex hormones during fetal development. Basically the testes produce sex hormones which leads to the development of sex organs associated with one gender, but (for yet to be determined) reasons the same sex hormones do not affect the brain which thus develops into a different direction, thus creating the “gender incongruence” that affects trans people lateron.

Yeah, that’s the current scientific consensus.
