Hi everyone,

I have just started my journey to transition to a woman. I am seeing a gender therapist, but have not started HRT yet. I am currently not living in a safe home, but that should be changing around August. I am thinking that if I have a plan of attack for when I am in a safe place, that I will be further ahead. What are the laws/ or rules to when you should change your name, change your drivers license photo, passport, etc.? Once I am free of the redneck hell I live in, I intend to stop living as a man, and start HRT. I am a comic book illustrator, so I have to fly a lot during the Spring to Fall months, so I would like to avoid any hassles with the TSA if I can. Suggestions?

Thank you for all the help

Welcome to the Playground, Erin. I think you're doing a wise thing by seeking out a gender therapist to help you on your journey to womanhood. I wish you success in the coming months and years. I encourage you to look around the forums that interest you, as you'll find a lot of great information and can learn from the experience of others.

Here is a web site link on the rules pertaining to name and gender change in Idaho. It is, unfortunately, one of the more restrictive states: http://transequality.org/documents/state/idaho

Please ask any questions and make any comments. We're here to help in any way we can.

HUGS

Thanks Carolyn,

This was a big help. I am trying to get to the surgery part of this journey as fast as I can, I hope by December of 2016. It looks like as soon as I have a medical letter saying I am in treatment I am good to go on the name change and new drivers license.

Hi Charlize,

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I haven't decided if I am going to stay in Idaho or not. This state, and its government, are not very LGBT friendly. I have a claim filed against the Army that should wrap up in August. If the back pay is enough I might move to Portland Oregon. I have a few friends there, and Portland is the comic book west coast capital. If not I will just try and tough it out in Idaho, and use the back pay to pay for surgery. I finished my comic a day early so I hope to get some reading done in this forum.

      What's for dinner?

      By Birdie · Posted

      Woke up early to prepare Mexican food for lunch as I had a friend coming over, but he forgot today is mother's day and cancelled.    Looks like I'll be eating Mexican food for dinner tonight.

      Political candidate, who linked pedophiles with LGBTQIA+, gains preselection approval.

      By VickySGV · Posted

      My condolences to the people of WA.  A huge warning about that type of politician though, those who broadcast the Anti-Trans message rarely if ever attend to any important legislative issues to benefit their constituency.  They are mostly single trick dogs, whose trick is to empty their food bowl and whine for more food.

      This stuff seems to be the major talking point for "conservatives" these days.  Just shows that they don't know what they're talking about, and don't particularly care.

      Mother's Day, so I thought I'd do the right thing and cook. So, we got Chinese takeaway! 😆   Actually, we planned it days ago, just thinking that tonight we would treat ourselves. Complete with a lovely bottle of Cab Sav.

      Exactly.   A plain old "Good morning" should always suffice, for example, whether the recipient expects a gender specific greeting or not.

      Hi awkward yet sweet, yeah, I tried dumping her but my current health insurance keeps directing me back to her as my primary, yet there are other doctors to choose from, but they are far away.

      This sort of stuff makes my blood boil. A prospective state politician has gained approval from his party's state council to run in their state election next year.   He once stated that the + part of LGBTQIA+ is where pedophiles are categorized.   For clarity, in Australia the Liberal party is our main conservative party. They have lurched further to the right over the past 10 years or so. Our main progressive, union backed party is Labor.   WA Liberal party approves Dr Thomas Brough, candidate who linked LGBTQIA+ community with paedophiles - ABC News

      Happy Mother’s Day    I have to be at church earlier than normal for a mic check.  I have been going over what I am to say, both silently reading and reading it aloud.  My concern is that my voice will freeze as it sometimes does.     I felt I was honored very highly yesterday by my minister and supporter on my journey.  He and another minister are Standing together to become the next co-moderators of the Presbyterian Church (USA).  They included me to receive an advance copy of their initial submission.  I was one of only 6 people listed on the email to receive this.  Later this week it will go out to all the voting commissioners that will be in Salt Lake City for the meeting.  I have asked to be allowed to attend the meeting to support him and Rev CeeCee Armstrong, whom he is standing with.    We’ll time to get ready .   Willow

      Nup. Not an option. You need to keep going and keep us all in the loop, and we need to keep seeing your beautiful smile!   Party, schmarty. I'm 61 and haven't had a birthday party since I was 30. Even that was just a crummy meal at the pub with a few friends who we have since lost contact with. Don't sweat it.

      On behalf of everyone reading your entries here @Sally Stone, THANK YOU for creating such an informative thread. But there is one thing you might have neglected to say at the end, and that is, "And they all lived happily ever after!" ❤️   Reno sounds like a pretty good place to call home. I understand the attraction of living in a place that is not too big but not too small.   I look forward to reading your subsequent posts about specific aspects of your journey.
