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.

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.

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.

      I use my  chosen name online and when ever I can. I play some online game and only go by that name. That is how everyone there know me. Yes it does feel great to be called the name you prefer.

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.

      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      No.  You are getting stuck on one statement and pulling it out of context.   Trans kids have rights, but so do non-trans kids.  That conflict is best worked out in the individual situation. 
    • MaeBe
      I get the concept, I believe. You're trying to state that trans kids need to or should be excluded from binary gender spaces and that you acknowledge that answers to accommodate those kids may not be found through policy. I disagree with the capability of "penetration" as being the operative delimiter in the statement, however. I contest this statement is poorly chosen at best and smacks of prejudice at worst. That it perpetuates certain stereotypes, whether that was the intent or not.   Frankly, all kids should have the right to privacy in locker rooms, regardless of gender, sexuality, or anatomy. They should also have access to exercise and activities that other kids do and allow them to socialize in those activities. The more kids are othered, extracted, or barred from the typical school day the more isolated and stigmatized they become. That's not healthy for anyone, the excluded for obvious reasons and the included for others--namely they get to be the "haves" and all that entails.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Context.  Read the context.  Good grief.
    • MaeBe
      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      Have you read the rest of what I wrote?   Please read between the lines of what I said about high school.  Go over and read my Taylor story.  Put two and two together.   That is all I will say about that.

      "I feel like I lost my husband," Lois told the therapist,"I want the man I married." Dr. Smith looked at Odie, sitting there in his men's clothing, looking awkward and embarrassed. "You have him.  This is just a part of him you did not know about. Or did not face." She turned to Odie,"Did you tear my wedding dress on our wedding night?" He admitted it.  She had a whole catalog of did-you and how-could you.  Dr. Smith encouraged her to let it all out. Thirty years of marriage.  Strange makeup in the bathroom.  The kids finding women's laundry in the laundry room. There was reconciliation. "What do we do now?" Dr. Smith said they had to work that out.  Odie began wearing women's clothing when not at work.  They visited a cross-dressers' social club but it did not appeal to them.  The bed was off limits to cross dressing.  She had limits and he could respect her limits.  Visits to relatives would be with him in men's clothing.    "You have nail polish residue," a co-worker pointed out.  Sure enough, the bottom of his left pinky nail was bright pink  His boss asked him to go home and fix it.  He did.   People were talking, he was sure, because he doubted he was anywhere as thorough as he wanted to be.  It was like something in him wanted to tell everyone what he was doing, and he was sloppy.   His boss dropped off some needed paperwork on a Saturday unexpectedly and found Odie dressed in a house dress and wig.  "What?" the boss said, shook his head, and left.  None of his business.   "People are talking," Lois said. "They are asking about this," she pointed to his denim skirt. "This seems to go past or deeper than cross dressing."   "Yes.  I guess we need some counseling."  And they went.

      Mine would be SHEIN as much as I have bought from them lol.
    • MaeBe
      This is the persistence in thinking of trans girls as predators and, as if, they are the only kind of predation that happens in locker rooms. This is strikingly close to the dangerous myth that anatomy corresponds with sexuality and equates to gender.
