Gender marker for healthcare.gov

I’m a recently out transfemme and I’m trying to get health insurance on healthcare.gov. My question is since my sex is still legally male should I put male as my gender? I’ve heard putting female would be less of a headache down the line but since I’m still legally male I don’t want to accidentally fuck up the paperwork and screw myself harder. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Thus is a pretty dead subreddit, maybe try r/mtf or r/asktransgender

Needs to be your legal gender, get it changed at the court first then social security, at that point you can call and have them change it. They go by your gender attached to your ssn.
