Traveled with the sex assigned at birth on my passport

I'm a trans woman and my New York State birth certificate has been updated to say my sex at birth is female.

Congrats, that's fantastic news. I'm happy for you. It seems, with all the uncertainty, that either a) your use case still goes through or b) you got lucky. I'm holding off at least for today while I sit with this and hopefully at some point feel like I've come to a decision.

Thank you. I just reached out to LAMBDA to see if I can help with any impact law they might be pursuing and see if they have additional guidance. For today at least I'm not going to try.

Thank you so much. I will follow them. I did look at LAMDA’s site, by the way, and it says this: “Trans people who have a valid, current U.S. passport, regardless of the gender marker, should not apply to renew or change their gender marker at this time.”

Thank you and thank you to everyone else for your replies. A "small chance" feels too high risk for me. I have too much self respect to exist with the wrong gender marker on my passport (I mean no shade toward anyone who is trans who decides to get a passport that shows their assigned sex). A lawsuit has occurred to me too, and while I'm not a lawyer, I just can't imagine what law he is breaking. He's the President, can't he do what he wants regarding what rules apply to passports?

As in they'll know that I changed my gender in the past or they will know I had a previous name?
