You know, I'm not even gonna worry about my birth certificate until I have to; I haven't even bothered to send in the name change for it. I was born in Texas and have no clue what kind of hoops I'll have to jump through to get the sex marker changed. So fuck it.....for now, anyway...
Just the other day I dropped off everything to get my current passport changed....sex marker included. I used the affidavit my GYN wrote when I went to get my license changed; it was a kick-ass document!! Thanks to Theo for sharing his template with me! Anyway... My hope is that I will always be able to use my passport and not even have to worry about producing my birth certificate for anything from here on out. When we got married, all they required was my license. I'm just not going to worry about it until I absolutely *have* to. On a side note, the state of Nevada just recently adopted the form linked below for getting a gender marker change on your license. It makes the process simple and standard, and removes the "judgement call" onus from the DMV admin. Progress! http://www.dmvnv.com/pdfforms/dld136.pdf

Crazy, Dylan People have hired attorneys just for DL. The attorney fees are $800 for name and gender change. There was a bill brought up to the Texas house a few years ago that would have allowed transfolks to get both at same time, but it didn't pass. |

This post is a bit "tongue in cheek." Looks like the taxes may be a bit lower in Tejas but they are going to get into your wallet and personal choices just using other strategies.
I have oftened wondered why a queer would live voluntarily in Texas. I suspect if it is your home, it is your home and you have attachments there. But as a Queer Tourist, hmmmmmmm, except for Austin, "No."

Ok, I've had two injections now and what happened was within a week of the first one I gained 3-5lbs. The side effects say that there can be water retention, but after going through hell to lose 95lbs, I'm not very happy with gaining even one ounce of it back.
Has anyone else had this happen?? If so did it mellow out after time? Thanks.

You will gain a bit until you level out, but the weight will start to shift around and you will lose. I hear most often that dr's will put transguys on high blood pressure meds, that will get rid of the water retention. Hang in there, both of you (Jet). Ya'll just started this leg of your journey. I'm 3 years in and im still experiencing new things. Keep us updated. Sam |

It's Normal...Men Use Water Differently Than Women, Dylan The whys are too much for me to type from my phone, but it has to do with blood pressure and blood viscosity and such, and it's completely normal. Just drink lots of water. |

You started when I did, TD. I haven't noticed anything. My voice cracks though.
