Since I recently received the post-gender-affirmation-surgery letter that states "[Autumn Sandeen] has had appropriate surgical treatment and has completed her transition to be female," I have, in process, experiences of changing my M to F (male to female) at various government agencies and businesses. So, I'm going to document many of these change as I accomplish the changes.

Image: Autumn Sandeen, about 30-minutes after completion of her bilateral orchiectomy ('orchi'), performed by Dr. Tuan Nguyen at the Lake Oswego Plastic Surgery CenterThe reasons for sharing these experiences with y'all are many. One reason is because one of my goals as a blogger has been to teach T (transgender) to LGB (lesbian, gay, and bisexual). A great deal of the LGB portion of LGBT community doesn't know much about the T of their community. That goal has somewhat broadened now since The Blend has moved to Firedoglake — I see part of my function as teaching T to progressive people now too.

I can't believe that this post flies...and that a castration is being sent up as a sex change.  Particularly when the surgeon who performed Autumn's orchiectomy, himself, says that the procedure is not a sex change.  Autumn Sandeen is disingenous and by providing inassurate and misleading information, is doing a disservice to any and everyone who has, in fact, had legitimate sex change surgery.
