That's summarily the question this thread seeks to illuminate as per Islamic perspective. It doesn't matter if you're a Muslim or not. So far you're a knowledge-seeker and here for that, be my guest.
It's been hot takes on LGBTQ. Let's get some Islamic edu on "gender nonconformity" i.e. "identifying as a gender different from what was assigned at birth."
There're 64 genders* today—not just male/female anymore. Anything of such & how's gender established in Islam?

That's summarily the question this thread seeks to illuminate as per Islamic perspective. It doesn't matter if you're a Muslim or not. So far you're a knowledge-seeker and here for that, be my guest.
This problem is called gender dysphoria.
See attachments on gender identity, gender expression & sexual orientation. All.. different things.
1. The ambiguous khunthā (al-khunthā al-mushkil)
2. The congenital mukhannath (al-mukhannath al-khilqī)
3. The non-congenital mukhannath (al-mukhannath ghayr al-khilqī)
An ambiguous khunthā is someone who possesses both male & female organs or one who possesses none thus urinating from an opening in the body.
This problem nonetheless, scholars say the true gender must be ascertained. Why? See attachment.
Once gender is established, the individual is no more ambiguous. He or she is male or female.
Unlike the ambiguous khunthā, the mukhannath is unambiguously male i.e. has no anatomical or developmental ambiguities but uncontrollably has the mannerisms and affectations of females e.g. voice pitch, gait among other feminite attributes.
NB. the Prophet cursed the mukhannathun & their female equivalents and ordered their expulsion from homes.
The non-congenital mukhannath, unlike those congenitally effeminate, who deliberately chooses to adopt such affectations. Long story short, this set of persons are cursed. Hadith: “God has cursed effeminate men and mannish women.”
This thread explains Gender in Islam, 90% gleaned from a research piece by Mobeen Vaid. Aside from the congenital mukhannath whom some scholars say could consider a medical operation to get rid of one of the sexual organs, LGBTQ+ is haram and accursed act in Islam.
