Changing Driver License Sex

[foxxygirltamara.livejournal.com]

My friend just got her letter necessary in Washington to change the sex on her driver's license. She posted a link to a site which contains a list of necessary requirements by United States state. I thought it may be useful to everyone.

States need everywhere from a simple court order to a therapists letter to SRS in order to change the driver license sex. Things like this really should be standardized over the whole US. Although it would be better to have a per-state thing than to be very restrictive everywhere.

Anyway, good luck to everyone on their path!

cross-posted ramble. maybe it will help someone, maybe not. but here goes:

today, there were two sightings. first time, i ran through the kitchen and up the stairs. the second time, i was watching "Ocean's Eleven." that time i lingered.
sometimes i feel like a ghost, passing through my own life. sometimes i feel like a vampire cuz more often than not, i cant see myself in the mirror.
i'm lost, but i'm finding myself. in pieces. through others' love and trust and encouragement.
in the oddness calander, i am 12 going on 25 going on 42.
i have an old soul, weathered, tired, and one that along with the fountain of youth known as (and just ask any mid forties Metairie housewife) HRT, keeps me looking fresh and even, for the most part, relatively young(er).
let me try to explain.

So my Thanksgiving didn't really go as planned.

The Drama

How did everyone else's go? Especially if you got to see people who just found out you were trans. It didn't happen to me, but I ended up being un-invited from my finance's family's Thanksgiving because of it.

Postive and negative stories are equally welcomed.

Hello

I am writing a paper on Intersexuality and the reasons why some parents choose to mutilate their children for my bioethics class. Is there any specific information that you believe must be included in my work? Also, i have found many helpful websites, but if you could recommend others, i would be grateful. And, if anyone has personal experiences or opinions, please share...
My email is falsereality@gmail.com if you do not wish to post here.

My personal opinion is that the body of a child ought not to be touched unless not doing so entails significant risks to his physical health. This extends to both gender mutilation in intersexed individuals as well as circumcision.

Happy Turkey Day to those who care to celebrate it.


Though jesting, I got a contemptuous "bitch" from my wife today. I'd been complaining for the past week that my jeans were too big and I'd have to go down to a size 8. Well, while I was folding laundry today I looked at the tag. They're 8's! So I just smirked, told her and got that response. It was cute. But I am definately happy. Was not thrilled at all to think I was wearing a 10. So now I have the fun of finding a 6 with an inseam of at least 34". Fortunately Newport News makes a tall line of low-rise flares with a 34" inseam.

In other news of the wife and I, we've been talking a lot more about how I don't allow myself to outwardly reflect the person within me. Mainly it's paranoia and the like that keeps me from being open about myself. Anything from loss of employment to violence is something I have to look forward to should just one asshole decide to act on it. Slowly but surely I will put more of myself out there. If the world doesn't like it they can bugger off. If they want to do more, well it's not a good idea to mess with a girl who could soon be allowed to legally carried a concealed weapon (*slaps her aggression issues around*).

We have also been discussing me going on hormones. She will love me no matter what I look like on the outside because she knows me for who I truly am. Her only request is that I remain non-op and do our best to make sure that part of me continues to function. I've been fortunate enough to converse with a few transsexuals who understood this plight and gave me advice as to what I could do. Now it's a matter of finding a therapist in Tennessee.

Last night I was getting dressed after my shower and my daughter (about to be 4) asked my wife what I was doing since I was putting makeup on. She told her I was playing dress up. Simple terms to her and she immediately dismissed what I was doing without thinking it to be weird. As she gets older she'll (hopefully) come to understand me more and who I am inside. In the end I wish for it to break any misconceptions she may have of gender roles that society forces on us daily.
