Best Answer

Church doctrine holds that gender is an immutable, unchangeable element of the human soul. Moreoever, the church counsels against the temptation to mutilate the human body. Even piercings and tattoos are strongly discouraged. Individuals who undertake a sex change would be counseled against it in the strongest terms. Their ability to qualify for a temple recommend after doing so anyway would almost certainly be compromised.

Prospective converts who have previously undergone sex change surgery may be accepted for baptism after counseling with church leaders.

That is pretty self explanatory. So the LDS were ALWAYS allowed in the LDS church because the LDS church is made up of only LDS people. Duh.
