1. To be a Muslim, you must believe that; there is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger.

2. Muslims must obey Allah’s orders and leave sinful acts. Sinful sexual relationships must be stopped immediately in your life.

3. If you were as a born female or born as a male, you must dress and behave accordingly.

Wassalam.

If your genetic gender was female (XX) then you are a female. If your genetic gender was male (XY) then you are a male even if you have gone through surgeries to look like a female. If your genetic gender is male (XY),  you should avoid looking at females without Hijab because you are a male.

Transgender’s situations are different.  Some of them were born with a female DNA set (XX) but they look like males from outside or born with a male DNA set (XY) but look like females. Such persons are allowed to “rectify” their gender outer to make it in accordance of their real DNA gender set up. We call such transgender operation as “rectification”.

But if the person is a clear male or female according to his DNA as well as genitalia,then it is not permissible to change their gender., and if they do that for any reason, they will remain considered as their original gender. This is according to most of our leading scholars.

‘Some of scholars say that if the person who was born as a normal male, goes through surgery to cut his genitalia and make himself look like a female, and becomes a real female in the eyes of the society as well as in his body details, then people can deal with such person according to outer features.

‘According to this opinion, if you look like a full female and people look to you as a real female, then you should wear in front of men and during your Prayers like females. 
I advise you to refer to the Marje; of Taqleed whom you follow to get his verdict after you explain to him clearly your situation.

Wassalam.

If you are a real male, you must pray as males pray. If you are a real female, then you must pray like females.
