It’s incredibly state dependent on how that works. Birth certificates can be ruined by your birth state, but that’s not the only way to manage things. Since federal identification still wotks, you can get a passport instead of a drivers license/state id, it’ll do everything except let you drive. You can also get your social security card updated too. As far as I know, that’s all that’s required to get set up with new identification in a different state.
Excellent points! There are definitely workarounds, but you have to look at what state options are available to you to make a plan that works for your situation. Some communities have trans advocates who can walk folks through that process for free, anyone looking to update their documents should see what resources are available.
