I did it, I finally was able to start the process of changing my name and gender legally. Now it takes just 3 more months until the change becommes official. It feels so fucking awesome knowing that I just need 3 more months to be able to change my name and gender everywhere and not having to use my deadname anywhere at all. It fills me with so much euphoria.

    Best wishes and congrats!

    Beware the random marketing emails in the future, they have a tendancy to deadname due to out-of-date information. On the other hand, easy to filter out because of that.

    Congratulations! I feel like the potential for euphoria has been somewhat hampered by tensions with your family lately, so it’s really nice to hear about the good things that are happening for you. 💙

    Name and gender change is the gift that keeps on giving. The day my birth certificate arrived, the first time I saw my name on my banking app, my superannuation account, my health insurance, my cervical cancer screening reminder (not necessary but thanks for thinking of me, Department of Health), and so many other little things. For the first couple of weeks I was doing involuntary squealing happy dances every time I got a new card or a letter from a government agency. The term “euphoria” had never felt more appropriate.
