My fiancee and I did this, with the transgender caveat and all. This was pre-Obergefell, so we also had to prove that Illinois would allow the marriage. You should fortunately get to dodge that step.
The one hitch we had is that the German embassy required me to send a letter confirming that I was aware of my fiancee's transgender status, which slowed things down by a week or two, what with international mail and the like. Eventually, everything went through, but it was an extra hoop for us to jump through.
Just make sure you have all your paperwork in order, and you put your old name in the previously used alias field, and you should be OK.
