If you’re trans and you don’t have a passport, get one. right now. not in a month, not in a week, get started on it today.
I mean it.
Today.
This is the one thing that I would definitely do regardless of state. For those not in the know, a passport is the way to get an easy name or gender marker change onto your ID without a court battle, and that is highly dependent on the Federal administration.
gender marker on a passport is currently completely self-selection and does not need any evidence, court order, surgeries, therapy, anything, nor does it need to match any of your other documents. you can use a passport (especially a passport card which is less unwieldly for daily use than the book) for basically anything you’d need an ID for except driving. do it now before this changes.
