My answer is purely my opinion. I have not done research to confirm it. I suspect the policy does not allow for Transexuals. I doubt if the military uses the nomenclature, Transgender.

In previous LGBTQ proposed legislation coming before Congress the "T" was a point of conteniton and debate. (Even among our LGBTQ Community. Not just with the mainstream.)

I am willing to bet there is no allowance, protection or legal recognition of "Transfolk" of any kind in the Armed Forces of the USA.
