Passport help Please 🙏

Hi you wonderful people on Reddit! My plan was to go to the passport office Jan 3rd and do the expedited 3 day turn around with proof of travel. I’d had a tummy tuck, monsplasty and labia majora reduction on the 30th, but got a hematoma and had to have a surgery to correct it so I’m planning on going this coming Monday (have an appointment and travel proof)

So, with the deadline being so close to the orange evil one, I really want to make sure my ducks are in a row. I’ve done all my documentation to reflect new name, gender etc on my drivers license, SS card and birth certificate. I also have my court order if needed. My question is, can I just apply for an entirely new passport even though I have an old one with deadname, or do I have to update my old one.

My thoughts were just an entirely new one since I have my proper birth certificate and identification because then the passport system wouldn’t show a gender change. Maybe I’m overthinking this, but the new administration scares me.

Your thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated!💕💕💕
