If your transgendered, were you able to change the gender on your US passport. How did you do it?

As I said in your other question:



Legal sex is defined by what's on your birth certificate.



However, there is ONE exception:



If you are a transsexual person going overseas for sex reassignment surgery you can obtain a Limited Validity Passport (LVP) with your identified gender on it. The LVP is good for one year and allows you to travel safely to and from the country you would be having your surgery. Now a word of warning: Some passport agencies don't realize the LVP exists and will try to turn you away. Ask to speak with a supervisor or go to another passport agency because LVP's for this purpose DO exist. You will need a letter from your surgeons office verifying that you are scheduled to have surgery with them.
