The new rules for passport gender change does not require surgery.

Out of all the documents I changed the passport was the easiest.

Same here.

I turned in the form, the fees, my passport, the letter from my doctor, and a new photo. My corrected passport arrived in about two weeks.

The letter I used, however, was the same one I used when I got my DL changed so it was a fancy affidavit-type letter that outlined info on my hormone therapy and doctor, chest surgery info and surgeon, and hysto info and surgeon. It was actually my GYN who created the affidavit.
