Name Change

Recommended Posts

Hello All:

 

So I have started the process of legally changing my name.  I am looking forward to my court date and started the count down.  Looking forward to Aug. 22.  I was hoping to do my name change in December and have it as a Christmas present, but after coming out fully at work and now living full time.  I just knew it was time for me to go to court and legally change my name.  I did not have to think twice and just knew that this is the natural course.  Cannot wait to have it permanent and my name / Gender markers will be changed.

 

Lots of Love

Hello

 

Thank you.  Since the courts can get picky, I have all my letters and paperwork and copies in a folder and I even put paper clips on each set of forms to make it look neat and professional for the judge.

 

Cannot wait till my full name is Amy Katherine LeBlanc

 

Lots of Love

That’s so great Amy!!! I am going to start looking into that this week. I didn’t realize it could be so quick though. I was hoping by Christmas myself. Maybe I’ll end up Kirsten sooner than I hope! For the most part I don’t use Michael anymore anyways. 

Good luck with your court date!!

Hello Kirsten

 

Might want to look like into the state / county you reside in.  Cause some steps are the same and some are different.  Like I know my fellow colleague from Chicago.  She had to post in a newspaper for 6 weeks before going to court  for her name change.  So I know each state and county is different and you have to file within the state and county you reside in

Oh. Thanks for the info. I will be looking into all of that this week. I don’t mind waiting if I need to. As long as it happens eventually ?

Your Welcome Kirsten.  I just don't want to give wrong information and myself I had to ask my therapist and also ask the court clerk office in my area and that is what they told me.  So I say to check with the court clerk office in your way or maybe might be able to find it online for your area.

 

Lots of Love

This is wonderful news, Amy!

 

Once you have that court order get your Social Security Card first. It made things so much easier for me. 

 

It has been the single most empowering step I've made coming out for real, in the wonderfully wild REAL world.

 

Good luck...

Huge hugs,

Thank You Michelle.  I am just looking forward to the day on which my name will be legal.  I am also planning on going to Sephora to have my makeup done before my hearing for something special.

 

It will finally be real and more comfortable to me.

 

Lots of Love

Hello All

 

I have just finished with my court appointment and I am now legal with the courts on my name change.  I have my certified court doc on my name change.  Now I just need to do my social security and then my license.  I have my doctor letter for my gender change on my license.

 

Lots of Love

Hello All:

 

Now that I have my certified court paper and looking forward to going to the SS office.  It has made it super easy to be dressing alot more especially since I have packed away all my male clothes.  Then to use the restrooms, I t is just natural for me to go into the women restroom.  This is just feeling more and more natural and has become very easy for me.

 

Lots of Love

Congratulations Amy!  Hopefully you will find the SS office as easy as i did.  I simply showed them my documents and sat there as they worked a bit on the computer.  The only hard part was getting paged in the waiting room by my old name.

 

Hugs.

Hello All:

 

Thank you so much and I am finally happy to be Amy Katherine LeBlanc according to the courts.  Friday I went to the Social Security office and took care of everything there.  Now it's just waiting to get the system updated before going to the DMV since the DMV pulls the information from Social Security.

 

Lots of Love

Hey All:

 

I have just completed the Social Security part.  Now I get to play the waiting game to make sure that the SS data base gets updated before going to the DMV.  But at the SS office, I got my name and gender marker changed.  I am so happy and excited.  I cannot hold it in.

 

Lots of Love

When I did it a few (6) years ago, the DMV here in CA accepted an SS paper receipt that showed my changes on it.  Mine was in two stages though.

      Funny how when i read the topic name i thought you were asking about the study of plants and animals.  I'm a bit into that as a farmer at va time when a cell phone makes plant  for insect identification easier than it has ever been.    Now on to your topic.  I don't farm in the nude.  I have wondered at whether i would skinny dip as i did as a kid without thought of how my body might affect others.  The effects of hormones makes me different from the average person and perhaps i'm "neither fish nor fowl".  I would certainly depend on who my fellow passengers on that cruise would be.   Hugs,   Charlize

      This is also a relatively small forum and it can take a long time, seemingly, for someone to get around to replying to a post.

      I am also pretty sure that several of them are folks who are "trans curious".  Sometimes folks who are trying to find their own identity, are attracted to trans folks or who are simply interested in the trans community.   There may also be some who wish to do us harm which is why ......... I've just learned to smile figuring "i'm on candid camera".   I'm sure many of our younger members never experienced that show so my age is showing.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Most of those "guests" are web bots from China, Indonesia, France etc. looking us over. They are mostly benign.  All they can see or gain access to are the general forums.  Members should be careful not to post anything that could readily identify themselves such as real names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. They do not have access to our gallery, blogs or private messenger. They seem to haunt all forums. Not just us. I should add that they can make us known across the internet. That's how prospective members find us. Google would be a good example.

      I hope he gets what he deserves.

      Heck I didn't even know they could go up that high! I just have a four burner and one to keep stuff warm. What kind of pies did you make?

      That's all the matters.   Well me and the wife rode to Perkins for breakfast. As we were waiting for our food. Being it is Sunday There are a few gentleman in suits, my guess from church. I think to myself. I hope I never have to wear one of those monkey suits ever again. Now a nice dress maybe.   Hugs,   Kymmie

      From time to time I've looked at 'Who Is Online" and I have consistently noticed that members are ALWAYS outnumbered by Guests by a wide margin, sometimes, like a minute ago, by more than a 10:1 margin.  I have never seen that before on an internet forum.  It can be explained partly by the nature of what this is, that it draws the curious and they are certainly welcome to read here, and to join, but it leaves me with a feeling of being in a fishbowl.  I wonder who ARE these people?  Donald Trump, is that you? Biden? Sinwar? Putin?  We can only guess.

      So from time to time my brain gets a hold of information and puts it together with other information in weird way that get me thinking. I was reading about a nudes cruise that they are running out if Miami. It got me thinking that a transgendered person who is also a naturalist, has to be one of the most unlucky people alive. How does one manage that and does that ever come up? Not trying to make fun here, just genuinely curious. Things that make you go hmmmm....

      No luck there, really. She's getting a signing bonus plus a little extra that I don't think would cover much in the way of the move, but it is something!   Oh my! I am glad to hear you're not passing anymore blood. I hope they figure it out soon! How distressing!   @April Marie @KymmieL @Mirrabooka @Willow @Justine76, thank you for the kind words and thoughts! We told our best friends last night. There were many tears. Now it's all about the work: selling the house (my wife's friend's son said he may want to buy it direct!), a job (a former employee of mine wants to bring me over to his company--and they're based outside of Tacoma!), and moving (just started going through what we don't want bring and donating things). So things have kicked off.   I'm not so sure of the job, it would be good to work with my former employee (he's great) but I fear the culture may not be super welcoming to someone like me--and the guy doesn't know I'm trans in any way. But I'll give it a shot as my authentic self and see what happens!

      @LadypcnjI'm sorry. I know the feeling my mom thinks I'm going through a phase too although I didn't come out till April 17, 2023, so it was later in life. I was in denial majority of my life. I would love to hear more about this if you are comfortable sharing more of it.

      I love fashion. I have over 100 dresses and 74 pairs of shoes. My walk-in closet is full of other clothes as well. I'm getting more shorts soon. SHEIN is awesome for quality and price. Just when you get a leather coat from them it's just the shell not the liner. Most of my shoes are from Torrid because I wear size 13 women's.
