I got my birth certificate changed, Aug 2025 without issue, license and ssn in Jan 2025, working on passport bc my new birth certificate should be enough document to switch the F to M on it now.

if you don't have a passport can you get one with your correct gender marker?

no. trump’s EO stopped that, there was a VERY brief injunction, and then the supreme court suspended the injunction. all passports are being issued with a person’s ASAB. the passport agency can cross-check sex information with the social security administration (to see if it matches and/or has a history of being changed). depending on the state, some issue new birth certificates and some say “amended” which can also get flagged.

there are a handful of “success” stories for people who never had a prior passport, whose state issues new birth certificates, who updated their sex with the SSA prior to this administration, however those generally occurred fairly early on. i haven’t heard of someone recently having success. if you apply for a passport, be prepared for and expect a gender marker reflecting your ASAB.

i’m really sorry to hear that. i still think it’s important to have a passport if possible. hopefully this is all rolledback by the next admin and we can get it fixed.

Yeah, honestly my plan was to just keep everything with my AGAB until I could change it smoothly through the proper channels. I just had an unfortunate situation where somebody issued a document with it changed (without asking me) I made a separate post, so now it’s a consistency problem
