And I don't see how it's a problem.
The question of a person's gender is irrelevant when the requirements the person is subject to have nothing to do with gender.
It is a problem because the church would be in a situation where it can't please both sides. There is no middle ground.
On one hand, recognizing a transsexual male as a godfather would entail that he is a man. It is certain that a decision like this would alienate the most conservative supporters of the church, at the very least.
On the other, accepting a transsexual male as a godparent but only recognizing him as a godmother would deeply upset transsexual individuals.
