I actually did it, I'm working on taking my next big step since starting HRT. I am setting up for my name and gender marker change. Talked to a lawyer today about what needs to be done, in 2 weeks I got to go to their office and drop of a copy of my birth certificate, Driver's licence, Social security card, and Fingerprints, plus money to put in an announcement of my intended name change/gender marker in the newspaper, not overy thrilled about that part, but it is what it is. Just wanted to share the good news :D don't get too much of it but when I do get good news it just that much better!!

Great news, Christina. Congrats! The name change is one of the most significant steps in the whole transition process. At that point, you really leave the old you behind, and start your new life. It will be an exciting day. :goodjob:

Just an update on this:

Last Wednesday i dropped my fingerprints and copys of my Drivers licence, SSI card and Birth Certificate, On Thursday I'm going to go meet with the lawyers to finalize everything and drop my payment for the newspaper add. So its progressing.

Congratulations Christina!

I'm sure you can't wait for the name and gender change to finalize. Name changes are rarely difficult. But gender changes can be more so, depending on which state you reside.

Pertaining to your birth certificate, I think what you will find is that the changes on the document will depend on the laws in Liverpool/Merseyside/England. I know in most states, the gender change won't happen until after GRS.

OK cool, heard Pa. was difficult. Have to be post OP to change gender on certificate

On my Driver's license I don't have to be post op, it is actually pretty easy, My Birth Certificate is from England so I have no Idea how to do that yet but hopefully I'll have an answer soon.

LOL actually as weird as it sounds, I don't even need to be there...It can be handled without me in the court room which means I don't have to miss work.. its weird, but I think I want to go anyway

well had a small hiccup when they ran my background check 2 traffic tickets popped up however there is no record of it on my License with Philadelphia Traffic Court or with PENNDOT, do its like a phantom ticket. however I got papers from Traffic court showing I have zero balance owed and got it to the lawyers last week. I haven't heard anything else so I think I'm in good shape now, and Court date is on Friday, so less than a week .. and now I'm nervous as anything .... lol

Well its all history now! After an epic day of running around just about everywhere possible, I have have my Drivers license changed to my correct name AND correct gender Marker! I also too care of my name change with SSI and with School, so "he" is now history, nothing more than a memory of what used to be. Do have a few more things to take care of fully, such as Bank Account, and Car Titles and fun stuff like that.

      It took me less than 6 months, in how my body quickly responded to hormone therapy, I was once a 40 jeans size, and now I'm comfortably wearing 12 to 14 sizes. Estrogen can speed things up and can slow things down in order to make adjustments. Seeing a treating doctor is very important to monitor the hormone levels to avoid possible side effects later on in life.

      I actually have Yoga as part of my exercise routine at the moment.  Since I'm still in the first month (of three, arbitrarily chosen by me) I've only got it slated for weekends, Sat/Sun.  I am finding out though if I get a little in during my morning wake up that when I get to my cardio in the evening, my joints don't ache as much. Right now the routine is: Weekly - Minimum of 3 days of cardio Weekly - Minimum 1 day of Yoga Monthly - Single endurance jog, preferably on Sunday I want my big thighs and butt to kinda hang around, so I am going to work some cycling into the mix after the third month. So far though, with the help of the Yoga stretches, Down 14lbs in a month. Next week is month 2.  ;_;  Going to put the tredmill on a slight incline to see if I'm ready for it.  If ya don't hear from me, the tredmill ate me. Oh!  I use a product called Yoga Stack 52, so I can Yoga at home.  It's just a deck of cards with the poses, difficulty, areas they stretch, and a nifty QR code you can scan to see a demonstration.

      Overly emotional language always helps civil discourse. Not.

      I often see people on the political Right claiming that all the wealthy elites are funding the "Radical Left".  But what I see seems to be the opposite.  There seems to be no lack of "big money" funding the Right.  The so called "Radical Left" is completely disorganized.  The "liberal media" (controlled by the wealthy) seems to be committed to presenting "both sides" of everything (including trans issues) whereas the Right makes no such pretense.   It should be noted, that in 1930's Germany the wealthy industrialists had no problem supporting the party (that can't be mentioned here). I have seen very few on the Left (out side of a few on the fringe) supporting an authoritarian regime.  Whereas plenty on the Right seem fine with it - down to many local MAGA folks.  Most of the GOP doesn't seem willing to even commit to accepting an election that they don't win.  Both Gore and Clinton accepted their loss despite having actually won the popular vote.  (it's that pesky electoral college thing)   Some on the Right claim to be oppressed by not being allowed to oppress certain minorities.  And Rightwing authoritarianism is now considered "Patriotism."  Go figure.

      Technically, it's before noon ;)   Uneventful day so far. I have my personal devices limited to 15 mins of screen time a day because I had a C lol, only problem really is the fact I do a lot of my social interaction online because most of my friends are in another state... been a little lonely, I guess? Plus I do a lot of reading and such online, and use my phone for references to draw, so there's a lot I don't have access to. So, just an annoyance now.   Anyways, fixed the C, hopefully I'll have normal things again soon ^-^   My mom's been having me take this herb pill in the mornings that is supposed to help with anxiety/ADHD-type symptoms, but I still have been having about the same amount of trouble focusing and sensory issues, so I guess it's not working haha

      That's awesome!

      Claire shares the same first letter as my male name.  I tend to prefer shorter names to long ones, and this one seemed feminine to me without going overboard. I was inspired by Claire Danes, Claire Underwood, and Claire Dunphy (upon whom I always had an enormous crush ).  Plus, it just felt right. I don't know if Claire will be my final legal name, but it's stuck longer than the others I've tried on.

      I always loved Ashley. I named my 2006 Roush Mustang that too. I also had a crush to Ashley Force who races in NHRA.

      I'm the same (estradiol, no blockers) and for me, after 4 years, T levels naturally *decreased*. I'm at E&T levels of a postmenopausal woman.   Astrid

      Revealed: the super-rich fascist Maga lobbying group who is brain-washing the far-right policies of Trump and other Republicans.   Documents show the Conservative Partnership Institute is pushing its far-right agenda at events involving GOP members. A powerful, right-wing lobbying group is promoting a hard-right policy agenda and cementing ties between the Republican party and the far right at at least 21 events involving senators, members of Congress, and both junior and senior political aides. The documents offer previously unreported details of Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI). In 2021, the former congressman and Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows joined CPI. Both Meadows and Mitchell were at the center of Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Meadows was indicted in Georgia in August.    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/23/conservative-partnership-institute-republican-laws
