Q: if i have ankylosing spondylitis or any similar autoimmune condition, does that mean i cant undergo gender transition? (hrt, surgeries, etc.?

: No, such conditions would not interfere with such treatment. In some cases, they might modify the details of timing, certain drug treatments, etc. But you can safely assume gender affirming treatment or gender transition management could go forward.
