Thank you for this post. I just started my transition in September… I was hoping to do this in 2 years not 4 months… but we can’t count on things getting better during his presidency… I’ll take the leap. I’m just worried it won’t be enough.

Do you need a new picture to just change the marker? Can I do it in the post office or is it something I need to print out at home first? Is it cheaper than a whole passport renewal? I just renewed mine last February

Pay to expedite it! If you have emergency travel, you can even go to a local office and get one same-day. I had am expedited passport get misprinted (nothing at all to do with my name or gender marker, just a boring misprint), sent it back in, they delayed it, THEN there was a problem at work that required someone to go to Canada, so I made an appointment to go to the passport office the next day. It took a few hours and two trips but I had a new one in my hands... I just needed an itinerary for flight outside the country within two weeks.
Had I started on the basis of needing it for emergency travel, just a printout of an itinerary from United, and a day of my time would have been enough to get it NOW.
The best part? I didn't even end up going. It was a real trip for a work emergency, but the travel agency screwed up the booking, so the itinerary I had wasn't even valid (unbeknownst to me at the time, but still), and by the time I got them to straighten it out the problem had been solved and nobody had to go anywhere. Still got my passport out of it, though.
Go and get your passport NOW. Today. Not tomorrow, today. Pay to expedite it, it's only $30 more! Abuse the system a little, if you need to. Good luck!

Don’t you need state ID changed before passport? If that’s the case, California takes 2-3 months so that might be totally off the table

I went by to get my emergency passport today. They told me it had to be what was on my birth certificate and assigned me the wrong marker. It's too late.
