The technology to change our bodies is coming along much faster than the technology to change our brains. Stem cells, tissue engineering, bioprinting, etc. are improving all the time. Recently scientists were able to create functional vaginas using tissue engineering, and implant them into some women. Functional penises, breasts, etc. also aren't out of the question. These are all still in the development stage but they're not distant future sci-fi stuff either. The applications to sex-reassignment and facial feminization surgery are obvious. I fully expect that, within our lifetimes, even older transitioners will be able to greatly alter their face and parts of their physique and genitalia and "pass" as their gender. Heck, we're already there in some ways. Meanwhile, we barely know jack about how our brains work, and nanobots are still sci-fi. I know there has been progress with nanoparticles and DNA origami, but that isn't what people talk about when they mention nanorobots. Brain-computer interfaces are coming along, but still a far cry from what you would need if you wanted to turn a transgendered person into a cisgendered one. I think we'll just stick with hormone therapy and such-like for now.
