Your, or even any, office not receiving official orders doesn't make this not true.
I mean, saying people should avoid updating their documents because this is the new policy is, in fact, untrue. Also, most of the documents listed are handled at the county or state level, not the federal level, so it's going to be extremely location-dependent, other than passports.
If you haven’t already updated your federal documents then it is probably too late. At least until these shits are gone.
Oh I'm sure it is - my office has had quite a few people in to change gender markers recently, which wasn't a surprise. However, updating a drivers license or doing a name change may still be possible, especially for people who may not plan to travel internationally.
True, it’s just a huge blow because updated federal ID documents were an easy fall back for trans people living in states where they can’t update their state level documents, for whatever reason.
