It does, yes. :( I haven't heard any word of policy changes since this post but you may want to open a Support ticket and cite this post, saying that you're in the same position. You'll also obviously want to make sure that you cite the post you linked too so that they know you're not trying to make it up or something like that.

Unfortunately, I only managed to get it resolved by having the word spread about it. I know that isn't going to be possible for most people in the same situation, so I'm rather lucky in that regard. (I'm open about my trans status, but I fully understand why people wouldn't want to do that.)

I hope you manage to resolve this with them.
