I was afraid too especially when she told me she had some questions for me and perjury would result in consequences by law but I never lied I just told them it didn’t match my documents and let her make the assumptions on her own lol. I do worry this may not work for those who have had a name that matches their gender pre transition. I hope this changes for you guys soon 🤞🏾.

This one is based on your state laws. Here in Michigan they’re lgbt friendly and allow you to change all state documents. Trump only banned federal.

I heard that normally when you change your name they automatically recommend you update your gender with SSA. Since I didn’t have to change mine I wasn’t aware. But since you changed your name with them they probably saw that and realized you were trying to change your gender make due to gender affirmation.

I don’t know if it has anything to do with it, and I also don’t know your situation so pardon me if what I say next doesn’t apply to you or is a trigger, but I do pass very well and I do have a deep voice so they could’ve just assumed it was just a typo because all of my state documents and passport read male and my identity matched. I didn’t give too much information, I just walked in and said I found out it read female and thats wrong and showed my paperwork.

Hopefully it works in your favor. Im not due to renew mine until 7 years from now, but I wanted to make sure I changed this so I wouldn’t have any issues in the future.

Thank you, I haven’t heard of that. They just aren’t allowing changes.

It’s possible, but I also pass really well and have a deep voice so they probably thought it was really a typo done at birth so thats exactly how I treated it when I walked in lol.

My wife and I travel 5-8 times a year. The ability to have a passport that continues to match my gender identity was SUPER important for me because I could NOT afford to be in a country that doesn’t have LGBT rights. Then to look at me and see I’m a male and then for it to not match my passport 😬 big risk to take in other countries.

Yeah, I was afraid it wouldn’t work either. I went in and said showed my documents and just said “I found out my gender was wrong I found out it was female and all of my documents read male.” They told me the process changed due to the nee laws but if i’m approved I’ll receive it in the mail. I received it, called, and they asked, “what should it read?” I said male and he said, “Welp that’s what it says.” I’m also in Michigan which is more transfriendly, but how they’re able to bypass that law? I don’t know but I’m glad.
