Joseph T. Hahn:

Our white paper that explores this topic found that having accurate identity documents is undeniably essential to so many aspects of everyday life – applying for school or a job, finding a place to live, exercising the right to vote and even conducting routine financial transactions.

Next to each of the four items is an illustrative icon.

Joseph T. Hahn:

But correcting name and gender markers on identity documents is complicated, expensive, and in some cases impossible. Fortunately, the U.S. State Department has one of the simplest and most progressive policies in the world for correcting gender markers. Since June 2021, medical certification is no longer required to change one's gender marker on their passport. Transgender people should consider updating their U.S. passport book or card immediately, and use that document as primary identification. Passport books and cards are valid for 10 years, even if policies change during that time.
