My Birth Certificate Came in the Mail and...

...I am on cloud nine. Not only is my legal name on there, and it's now confirmed, so is my true gender. :ThanxSmiley: :ThanxSmiley: . :ThanxSmiley:

So as far as Indiana is concerned I was born as Jennifer B. <last name> and my gender marker is now female. I am not even full time yet, let alone had SRS. Unbelievable! All I needed was my court order for my gender marker change. Indiana would not even accept a surgeon's letter. My court order did have a clause that I wasn't seeking a gender change on my Birth Certificate. However the court order did not say to exclude changing my gender on my birth certificate. The judge said she never saw this specific court order before. And when I said it was written up by the local LGBT center, and that I was born in Indiana (I live in Arizona), she signed it. I guess that made all the difference. When I die I will now be known as a woman, and that is wonderful.

Speaking of going full time, I talked to HR today and sent an e-mail to management telling them that on May 7 (49 days), I want to go to work as Jennifer permanently, meaning that's when I start living as Jennifer 24/7. More documents will need to be changed first, but there is ample time to do so. That will be another hurdle jumped. After that all legal documentation will say I am Jenny and only the Soc Sec Admin will list me as a male.

Next I want to apply for a passport, although it may not be necessary because of my new birth certificate. After that, all that is left is SRS and my Soc Soc gender marker change.

I don't know if any other state has such progressive laws as Indiana. And for those that don't, I hope they trend this way.

Love,

Jenny

Congrats, Jenny!!! This gives me inspiration to do mine, too! I have not done my B.C. mostly because I have not needed it for anything yet. My license, registration, everything else, has my correct name and gender. But this is good news! So happy for you!

*big hugs!!!!*

Fantastic! Congrats!!

I finally sent off for my birth certificate change last month, so I was only about 6 months late getting around to it (had my day in court last august for name and gender change). Supposedly, in this state, they will only do the name change now and will do the gender later if I can provide proof of SRS, but the court order was for the change of both on all my other id, so I have day dreamed about how nice it would be if they granted both on the BC. ::laughs:: I also finally fixed my vehicle title recently. There were just a couple of things that didn't seem as urgent back when I was fixing all of the various papers, but I think these two are the last bits of unfinished business.

Now, if I could only figure out how to get SRS, I could get on with my life.

Wonderful news, Honey!

Outstanding!

Unfortunately I was born in one of the three states that won't change gender on your BC under any circumstances....sux

But, that doesn't mean I can't get my drivers license and other docs changed....I already have my name changed...

Good on you, girl!

      a friend wants to cook for me

      By Mmindy · Posted

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I don't know what I'd call this

      By atlantis63 · Posted

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      a friend wants to cook for me

      By atlantis63 · Posted

      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      Project 2025

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      What are you wearing today?

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?

      Quite right mate! I have been letting my hair grow out again (I cut it all off when I was 18).    I'll never look this good:    But I'll aspire to look my best! ☺️
