It sounds like it's not
It sounds like it's not really a Congressional issue. It's a straight DoD issue. Lobby the Pentagon, perhaps?
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
the only way...
The only way the DoD or pentagon care is if their $$$ keepers say hey this is an issue... hence talk to your congress critter=]
Your Congress Critter Can Fix This Problem
How many a Congress Critter is willing to help?
May Your Light Forever Shine
We can't know
Unless we ask. And should enough people ask enough congress critters... change might just happen.

I know several...
I know several who've worked HARD to get their DD-214s updated with the correct name/gender to no avail... One even hired a lawyer, and three years later, no luck.
Part of the issue is that trans are still not allowed to serve. (If they find out, out you go. Well, unless you happen to be in a skill they need, then you can even be called back to active duty in your correct gender... Go figure.)
I can't see this being fixed without major pressure being applied to DOD.
