Several of my friends put together a guide for transgender individuals who are trying to update their identity documents as quickly as possible, before Trump's administration takes over and puts much of this in jeopardy.

It reorders the usual process some to highlight steps that can be run simultaneously and to prioritize the changes that will be most vulnerable to the new administration, especially gender changes for federal documents. Several options are described, based on individual circumstances, and several funding options are listed if financial help is needed.

It was written for Massachusetts, but several of the processes are federal and apply nationwide. The name change procedure should be the only early process that will vary by state.

The guide can be found as a PDF here:

I hope this helps.
