Dishonorable discharge takes after the sentence has been completed.
LINK: Although sentenced during her court-martial to be dishonorably discharged, Manning was reportedly returned to active unpaid "excess leave" status while her appeal is pending.

So although not being paid, Manning still receives military medical benefits, including continued transgender treatment/therapy. Presumably, the transgender treatment will end if and when Trump's tweet gets turned into an actual Executive Order, assuming of course that Congress does not get involved and changes the law either before or after any Trump Executive Order on this subject.
