I think at the point most people have the money and time, and have completely gone through everything (physically in regards to surgery and hormones, and legally regarding name changes), they'd be a bit old for most traditional systems where the students are 18-22. I know of only one, a 16 year old German named Kim Petras, but that's Germany where the whole health care system is different, and in the US there are many issues surrounding the health insurance, employment, housing, and other economic factors of those who are transgendered. I'd guess that many young people in the USA and Canada who are transgendered are not going to have the resources for surgery at a young age, and many have bigger concerns than joining GLOs.
Second to all that I am sure it comes down to membership selection which is private and there may be groups who have a clause about being "a natural born" man or woman and don't advertise that statement. There are all kinds of reasons people aren't chosen for membership that have nothing to do with being transgendered and most of that is never discussed outside of the membership so I doubt gender identity would. I know the state I live in does not legally change birth certificates so
