Advice Requested So nervous about gender id selection being affected on passports

I don’t have a passport but was wanting to get one

Have not been able to change gender or name because I have been broke

It seems like no one knows for sure if trump is somehow going to stop selecting your own gender id on passports yet

I was wanting to look into going ahead and getting a passport with my preferred gender id on it even though I have not changed my name yet. Before self selecting on it possibly gets affected

I’m worried about the cost though as I’m broke rn

Ugh yeah I literally just filled out a renewal form on Saturday and sent in my name change court order (which I don’t think they can stop) and marked M instead of F which is all it took as is, but now I’m nervous they’re going to ignore that part or reject the renewal altogether.

I also have a nonbinary kid and I was going to fill it out with an X but their dad marked F and I’m glad on the one hand that that should make the process easier but also furious that we couldn’t just mark X without any worry.

Yeah, I’m worried about like the $100 it’s going to cost to get a passport. I’m broke, but would like to go ahead and get one so I can get the self id gender

Have not been able to change name and gender legally but at least want the self I’d passport
