I'd never give my Victoria (a brown dog of uncertain race) away. No. Just no.

This conversation reminds me of a time a couple of years ago...I was still in school, and we were having some heavy snowfall. I came out of the dining hall wearing my big black duster coat, wearing my black leather gloves, and carrying a cup of delicious chocolate ice cream. A friend happened to walk by, and he said he thought the image was very bizzarre .

Hmm, there's a thought... abscond with as many stuffed animals as you can and make a nest out of them. ...Intriguing....

Lixie Madlibs?

Funny thing is I don't mind being called 'sir' at the moment, because it only happens rarely and means I'm finally not dealing with a @&(!&$!ing #*$!$$! for a change
But I totally understand what you mean, and having no control over stuff like that really sucks *hugs*
And thanks to you and noparlpf for the kind words
I might even take a pic of the leggings on me if you're all very lucky...

I am curious as to what words the symbols are supposed to represent...
I suspect the reason it's getting to me so much is because I really have nowhere to live my actual identity. I have my D&D group, but I only see them on Friday nights. Otherwise, it's at home with my parents, or at work, so I'm feeling incredibly stifled. I can hardly even talk to people IRL about it.
Hopefully that all changes on Wednesday, though .

Wait, gay people don't like being called "sir"? This is news to me.

I just almost lit one on fire just for fun until I remembered I learned to ignore my gut instincts. Also because it might make starting conversations easier.
I like being called "Sir". It makes me feel grown-up.

Hm hm.
I talked to a few other people about it and apparently the SRS thing for name change is just a formality and they usually just put a year after you start hormones on it to satisfy the legal requirements. So it's more of a 'government wants it to put it on there'. Am rather frustrated with SRS being a requirement for a legal gender change though. Just feels like the entire business is rather very out of touch with trans people. :/
Edit: Orchiectomy apparently counts too; you just have to be "permanently infertile".

Today went better - had a bit of a talk with my GF where she felt it was like she had to choose between me or her family (who won't be understanding for the most part) which was kind of good and yet pretty tough to hear.
Still, things are going a bit better between us. Not 100% yet and won't be for some time, but better than they were.
Am glad things are a bit better with your girlfriend though. :<
And those leggings are awesome!

Yeah, the getting called 'sir' really stings often. :<
Also haha at the being gay just in another way. Hope everything goes well and your parents don't give you too much hassle. (It's this Wednesday, right?)

Apparently the single most common name change is people changing their middle name to Danger.
Yeah. Apparently you need to contact a lawyer here and it's quite expensive. A gender-related name change apparently doesn't require all that and is really cheap but you have to be on HRT at the very least. So it's a ton easier in that specific case.

@Astrelia- At least you got an appointment with the endocrinologist, which is a step forward. The name change thing sounds miserable though. I don't see why it should really require a date set just for that, though maybe for the official sex switch on government documents going that far is understandable (not right, but at least understandable). Still given the stupid things people change their names to, you wouldn't think Lena would raise any legal hurdles.
*hugs*
People are stupid
Governments doubly so.
@Absol-
Is it strange that I see in your recounting exactly what is going to happen to me in a few months? Because I do. I already gave you all the hugs I had, but the factories have since produced some more, so have these too
*hugs*
At least they haven't guessed correctly and gone off without any opportunity for you to guide things along. Good luck
On the question of "sir," while it does bother me, there'a not much I can do, except ask that the person not be so formal, but I've sort of gotten used to the grating. Of course, this is likely to change once I start thinking more seriously and immediately about coming out, or being out.

Which is just bizarre. Are they afraid that trans women will start impregnating young, seductible girls? It is contrary to the European Council's recommendation and it should be abolished immediately. We've only recently come around to doing it in Sweden.
