Casting a transsexual as a hedonist who subjected themselves to obscene mutilation and now tries to recruit others into their cult is perfect casting, if you're almost as amoral as the cenobite is.
In medieval times the demons of Hell were portrayed as transsexuals. Baphomet had male and female sexual organs. Incubi and succubi were one and the same, shape shifting demon that preyed on people's lust. Western culture is ruled by demons.
No, that's just appropriate casting in this case, as the others pointed out. It might also add to the "uncanny valley" that the likes of Pinhead should arouse, without having to go to the lengths that Roddenberry did to create "uncanny valley" with his aliens in Earth: Final Conflict.
(And oh, trace this whole tranny thing to that one actual hermaphrodite who made the rounds in the 90s - Oprah, Sally Jesse, Geraldo, etc, and is the one asking if the aliens have "two sexes, like we do" in Mars Attacks! - that it's a hermaphrodite is the entire joke, btw.)

Yeah well they'll probably make Pinhead "come out as trans" during the course of the movie 💩

At some point you’ll run out of previous material to ruin. They are terrified of making new stuff
They are literally demons from Hell.
Makes sense, trannies are horrifying

Oh my god, I totally forgot that scene. That was such a great fucking bit.
