Changing Your Birthday

[Guest angie]

My ex and kids and my good friend Rich,

Asked me if when I have corrective surgery,if that will be my new birthday.

Hmmm,I have thought about that.I have my coming out day April 5th,or my

start of HRT May 5th,or name change day February 5th.What day will be my

surgery,I can only hope it is on a 5th day of the month,because the 5th is my

lucky day.Will I use that day I finally become complete as my new and real

birthday?Only time will tell.I know all that love me and are involved in my real

life,think it only appropriate to honor this as my special re birthday,as the day

I offically and legally in every way,become the woman I was always meant to be.

Whatchu girls think?

Hugs,

Angie

I think it would be fitting and it would hopefully be lucky as well and very appropriate to the occasion too.

Hugs and sincerely,

I think it is a sweet idea, but how does that work from a legal standpoint? Gender markers on birth certificates, driver's licenses, etc. are one thing, but legally changing your birthdate... is that possible?

If you mean symbolically changing your birthday... well I think that is a swell idea!!

Love

A "birthday" is an aniversary of physical human birth. I'm not sure it could be legally changed. I would not change mine. I don't remember it anyway; probably a good thing! Maybe we need a new Hallmark day added to the calendar - Re-life day? Re-Birth day? Out with the Old - In with the New day? Also, keeping the birthday, and getting a new aniversary means more cake, maybe presents!

Hi angie,

I got into this discussion awhile back elsewhere. Legally speaking, Charo, (the cuchi-cuchi singer who fronted for Xavier Cugat), officially changed her birthday sometime back in the 1960's or 70's, taking off about 10 years. She didn't touch the month and day, just the year. But she appeared on the Johnny Carson show and basically bragged about it, saying she had it legally done by finding some judge (I believe in California) who would do it, and there you are.

If you google her (ok, you should actually Yahoo her, because my son works for Yahoo), it shows at least 3 different years of birth, the latest after mine, and I know when she first came to 'popularity', she was older than I was.

So, if she can do it, I would guess anyone should be able to do it. Just a lot of hassles getting some records changed. And you can put off retiring for another 10 years, cuz, Social Security will be delighted to postpone paying you.

Hugs,

Chloë

I don't see why I'd need to change my birthday. Even after hormones and surgery, you're still the same person, you just had a physical defect fixed. But, that's just my opinion (Besides, I like my birthday anyways)

My family and friends don't mean to legally change my birthday...

What I am assuming that they mean,if I will honor my surgical day

as my real birthday.Gives food for thought though doesn't it?
