Went down to the courthouse today and filled all my paperwork for my name change. Was nervous as all get out for some reason, worried that I would have made a mistake on my paperwork or something, but as usual, the worry was for nothing! Papers are filed and my court date is set for the 24th of April.

I actually talked to my father about my name, before I changed it. I wanted to know what he thought, even though I know what my name is and what name feels right. I found out though, that my middle name, which is currently Jean, was only because my mother pitched a fit because my father wanted it to be Eugene which was my grandfathers name. So I am very happy about that because I wanted to make my grandfathers name my middle name anyways, and finding out that is what it should have been all along just confirms for me how right this all is.

I'm about to start the process myself ... you got me thinking .. I have a name picked out but there is a tradition that the males on my dad's side that their middle name is edward. I really want Koop as my main name cause everyone already knows it and lyndon as my middle name because it's close to my given name and my parents now call me lyn. I'm thinking maybe i'll hyphen my middle name and make it lyndon-edward. Does that sound too weird?

On another note I hope I represented us well yesterday. Someone doing a project for school on the transcommunity interviewed me. I think she asked 1 question and then i just started talking and covered all her questions and stuff she hadn't thought of.

I found this information today about an organization that helps trans people with resources for transitioning, namely, surgical services. I thought I'd post the site here.

http://jimcollinsfoundation.org/

This organization raises money and then awards grants to trans patients for sex reassignment surgeries. For us transmen, I am supposing that they would help with money for top surgery. So many trans people are not able to pay for top surgery, at a minimum, and this organization has some pretty cool doctors (Dr. Christine McGinn) who do pro bono work for grant applicants. I don't know what all they do or might help with for those desiring phalloplasty (the creation of a penis), or the myriad of variations for bottom surgery that are available, but likewise costly, such as metoidaplasty or centurians.

My name change is officially complete and legal, now I just have to send paperwork off to all the appropriate places and get all things changed over. I am so glad to have that behind me and now I can begin working on the next step.
