Sgt Klinger wasn't trans.
Was the most sane person there in MASH according to B.J. Hunnicutt.
Quote:

In the earlier seasons, Klinger was endlessly trying to get himself discharged from the Army on a 'Section Eight', or psychiatric discharge, mainly by cross-dressing; viewers began to look forward to what new outfit he would wear next or what other ploy he would attempt. But to his frustration, his commanders were never fooled. B.J. Hunnicutt once remarked that by always trying to get out, Klinger was actually the only sane one in camp, while everyone else was crazy for accepting the situation. Both Blake and Potter largely tolerated Klinger's antics for their entertainment value.

At some point he drank motor oil to try to get out.
Occasionally cross dressing is not even a psychiatric disorder and only an issue regarding regressive social taboos about clothing.
