I have to wonder why I would want to try and change my birth certificate, I can't get the gender marker changed anyway, so what's the point? Ugh. We need comprehensive federal laws to fix the mess between the states.

This is a really helpful link! Thank you for sharing it. I learned what I need for name change in Vermont which I haven't been able to find easily elsewhere so thank you again!!

This is one of the things that I have a lot of questions about, TBH. I was born in Arizona, and the wording required to change your birth certificate is very vague... i.e. "irrevocably committed to gender change." -what the heck- does this MEAN?!? :banghead: SRS isn't something that I'm burning to get done (for a number of reasons), although there are plenty of other things (HRT, bilateral orch, etc.) that are VERY high on my list that could be considered to fall into this category, but are completely dependent on the surgeon that signs the letter.

 

I have an idea of who to blame, but I don't want to bring politics into it. I just wish that there as one humane, common-sense, inclusive standard for ALL people, no matter what metric you choose to apply...

In my case, my doctor knew what was needed, but other doctors will actually be happy to have you make a letter for them to sign. Your local LGBT Community Center also will have someone to help with those letters and will help your doctor if you give permission for the doctor to do it.

I received a wonderful certificate with a gold seal which looks almost like a diploma from my doctor after my surgery.  I guess it doesn't hurt to make it look official especially as it seems every state has it's own hurdles to make us jump.

 

Hugs,

I received multiple copies of a letter from my doctor after my surgery, in case I needed to mail them away.

I was told all you have to do is, get a letter from the doctor, certifying you had SRS. Courts post it for 10 days then alls good, that would help with SSN and DL

Each state has its own procedures, and this in fact may be the one in North Carolina, but as a Californian it is not exactly how it is done here.  Be sure of who tells you and accept ONLY reliable information from licensed Lawyers or para-legally trained people.  Your local LGBT Community Center either has an Identity Resolution Clinic on a regular basis or has a referral to a legal office or clinic who will help you for a low fee, or possibly free, and even show you how to avoid court fees in appropriate cases.

In California it's easy if you have an attorney. SRS is not necessary just a viable HRT treatment plan. Getting the treatment plan was the most difficult because it needs to be very specific.

 

I am taking my documentation in this week. My Doc has already signed off and my attorney has finish the Three required copies for Court. Fees are waived. Then I'll schedule a hearing, done processing.

 

I have to renew my DL this month anyway, so I am hoping to have Michelle as my BD present to myself.

The link posted at the top gets you to the info for your state.  Florida accepts the WPATH guidelines for the US Passport gender/name change, which does NOT require SRS to be completed or even started.  Just a "viable path" to gender change, which may or may not include SRS.  There's language that does need to be included in the letter that you need from an appropriate medical person (endrocrinologist, therapist, surgeon, whatever) and the letter must be on letterhead with specific information for the person doing the letter.  Listed out nicely.  Hope it helps.

I haven't decided when to submit a name/gender change.  Guess I'll see how HRT goes, then decide.

I guess I got lucky since I'm from Washington I just had to have my name change papers and a form filled out for gender change. Then to do my ID in Missouri I just needed my name change papers and my birth certificate.

This is a very good resource for U.S. folks on name and gender change issues.

I'm sure glad this thread got bumped today.  This URL is an extremely valuable resource for transitioning US residents.  It's nice to know I'll have no issue, whatsoever, changing my name or gender on my birth certificate and drivers license here in Washington State.  Thanks @VickySGV for the info and @Jordy for the thread bump.

This post is actually "pinned" in this Forum because it is the most recent and  most authoritative to date.  We do this with important posts and hope every body will open each forum and check the pinned posts in them.  Let the Mods or Admins know if you see other stuff that you think should be pinned, or stuff that is oldie moldy and no longer good stuff.

There is no single spot for ALL of them since they are specific to the content of the forums they are pinned to and would be confusing or misleading outside of the Forum setting.  If a post has been pinned, it is at the top of the Forum it relates to and does not age down the list as others do.  Open each Forum or sub Forum and they will have a green dot with a map tack in the middle and be the first post or posts at the top.  I found them an interesting way to visit all the forums when I first got here 8 years ago.

I think it would be great to have a "Best Of" for all the pinned threads in its own section.  They're all pinned for a reason....they're all important, critical, or newsworthy.  The threads in that section would simply be aliases or shortcuts to the original still in their original threads.  I've seen this on many sites and it's very handy...especially for newbies like myself.

 

my 2¢,

It's such a blessing to live here in WA Susan, really the whole west coast is awesome for such things.

 

I feel for our sisters and brothers born in OH for example, that have no ability to amend their birth cert currently (maybe that will change ?).

 

Hugs

I got absolutely no grief getting my BC from Utah!

Name and gender... I have my amended Certificate. All it took was Court Ordered name change, $25 and a self address envelope!

 

Says my name is Michelle and I'm female.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?

      Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.
