It actually did: Deuteronomy 22:5 -
"The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment; for all who do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God."
So there were clear gender roles to be followed, and men trying to dress or act like women was considered an abomination, the same as women trying to dress or act like men.
But you're also right, that a lot of this didn't need to be spelled out specifically, especially regarding more transgressive acts such as hormone therapy and mutilation via surgery.
Ah, yes, you're right.
I was more referring to the fact that the Bible didn't explicitly outlaw transgenderism, using clear, modern language, leaving zero doubt for such adherents. Many people, including Christians, misinterpret the Bible to mean what they want it to mean, to make themselves feel better, to justify their sins. I suppose, though, it wouldn't matter how well articulated the Bible is for those people. It would never be enough for them.
