A reader writes: "I'm a 23-year-old trans guy who has been on hormones for four years, but I just had my name legally changed. With a note from my doctor, I was able to change my sex marker on my driver's license. I know I have to change my Social Security information, as well as my birth certificate.
"That being said, my goal is to finally start college this fall! My question is more about financial aid. On the FAFSA form, it will ask me my sex. Do I still put down F because that is what my birth certificate says, or M so it matches my driver's license? I also have to get a note from Selective Service about why I can't sign up, or else I won't qualify for financial aid at all. If you (or a wonderful reader) have any advice, I'd greatly appreciate it!"
