I'm Officially Me - Legal Name Change!!!!

Well, it has been a dramatic and strangely comical journey but today I got my court documents pronouncing that my legal name be changed to Joseph Caleb and my cool last name having no ties to my evil family ^_^:lol:B) Most of you know, that dealing with my last court appearance for my hate crime trial, was a bit stressful :(:unsure: so I was alittle nervous going in. I have had to jump through a lot of hoops and some of the interactions with people along the way have run the spectum of hissing at me and making things very uncomfortable, to asking rediculous questions - not in an I want to understand type way but I am not quite capable of recalling any common sense for this interaction type way - It certainly has led to some comic release type situations. The best side of the spectrum was today when the judge asked me again to explain why I wanted to change my name (I was thinking oh no, here we go again) He looked over all my documentations and petitions for safety reasons and gender identity and then .... wait for it

Not only did he apologize for the treatment and run around I had received, and said he was sorry for all the trauma and grief my family had caused (like this isn't good enough) but he said my name change was granted (couldn't get better - right?) I thanked him and he said

"You're welcome, SIR!!!!! :P:D:lol:B):rolleyes: In front of the entire court room!

Legally now,

Joe

Congrats (officially finally) Joe! That's awesome...and the story about the judge is just like icing on the cake. Two thumbs up (I'd give you more if I could, but I only have two thumbs).

Hey MAN, that's wonderful!

By the way, thanks for asking a while back how my situation was going. For now, I just wanna say it's still going, and it's not going good--not at all like I thought it would or even like the last time when I went through this. But I will post about it after another hearing takes place on the 19th this month.

But for the record, Way to go sir Joe ;)

      https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/05/15/peru-chooses-bigotry-medical-services     The Health Ministry tried to put the best face on this unscientific gibberish of a decree, but it won't diminish the harm it will do to the Pervian trans community.  They undoubtedly already suffer from severe discrimination and bigotry in a very macho-opriented society.   Carolyn Marie

      I'd never heard of it until reading this.  From the thread title I thought it had something to do with the state of Idaho.  But perhaps combined with something about Hobbits, which seemed odd.  My brain goes in weird directions.

      I had my surgery 11 years ago, and yes, I too find it much more of an urgent thing than it ever was before.  One possible culprit is going to be T blockers if you are still on them, also the urethral sphincter which holds the pee back is closer to the urethral opening now and more subject to stimulation. When we gotta go we gotta goooooo!!

      I notice that the Wikipedia article does not mention the U.S.A. which I can understand a bit.  The entire month of June here is Pride Month for all the organizations and is tied to the 1969 Stonewall Inn riots in New York and also our medical authorities are also not tied as thoroughly to the WHO as they are to the American Psychological and American Psychiatric Associations which write the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health which is generally in line with the WHO which does not play as big a part in our medical practices here.  The WHO does not impact us the way it does the other world countries which is why we are in the dark about the day.  Ironically though, one of the U.S. States is named Idaho which sadly is one of the most conservative and frustrating to the U.S. LGBTQ Community.   The day is international though in the sense of other European and Southern Hemisphere countries it seems.

      Hmm. Must have been that pesky 'International' word which made me assume that it was well known! I only became aware of it myself last year.   Brief history: May 17th is the day IDAHOBIT is acknowledged as it is the anniversary of when in 1990 the World Health Organization declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder. It was conceived in 2004 and first celebrated in 2005. It has gone on to include trans folk in 2009 and bi folk in 2015.   International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia - Wikipedia

      A year and a half post op. I've noticed that once the urge to pee hits, I can only hold it for about 15 minutes or so until it gets to the point where I feel like I'm going to piss myself. I used to be able to hold it a lot longer (as I  remember it).  I know my urethra is a bit shorter now, but I don't think it is enough to account for this. Am I imagining it?

      What a great moment @Vidanjali! It's always so cool knowing people are reading you in a way you want to be seen.

      It's also networking.  Sometimes jobs come along because someone knows someone else - these older people might know someone.  "Hey, Ashley," someone might say,"My nephew is looking for love. He likes tall women. Whatcha think? Can he call you?"   Don't discount their ability to match make.  It is about networking.

      He is simply doing to get more votes. He held a Trump for trans during his first run and found out the majority of his voters were against us so he simply followed the crowd.

      The sad part is I'm the third oldest member. One is in their 60's and the other is past 70's. I'm even older than the president lol. It's a younger crowd that's for sure. I like to come here to feel young again lol.

      Ashley, I think searching for relationships are a lot like searching for jobs, they tend to come along when you aren't actually looking.  Perhaps you could step back from actively searching, at least for a little while, and instead, concentrate on just being out and about as yourself.  Like Mae and Abby have already mentioned, just keep up your volunteering, but don't focus on a need to find someone.  Maybe, just maybe, changing your tactics will result in someone finding you.    I do wish only the best for you, and I hope someone comes along who connects with you.
