Or, you know, you live in a red state that fights tooth and nail to not update that information, all in the hopes that this day would eventually come.
Updating your vital records is a state level item, and the process will vary by state, and that’s a requirement to get it changed on your Federal passport. Please don’t forget that a large amount of states have been trying to pretend these people don’t exist, and now the federal government is trying to help make that a reality. For an example of the difficulties as reported 3 years ago:
States requiring proof of surgery, court order or altered birth certificate to change gender marker on driver’s licenses
Big assumption that they can even get a passport under Der Furher
