Living Life As The Desired Gender

[animalover9]

I've been posting a lot of questions lately, so uh, sorry about that! But I have a couple of questions for people who are finally living life as their desired gender. Also, sorry if this comes off rude in any way, I'm just curious since this will probably coincide with my own future.

Say you've started/are currently transitioning with hormones and you pass 80% of the time, you're even living life as the gender you've always seen yourself to be (using the correct bathrooms,etc.), you've changed your name and all of that. However, you have not had any surgeries done to your lower genitals. Does this mean that your sex/gender would be the one you were given at birth on your driver's license? What if you get the driver's license before transitioning- can you change it? What about a visit to the doctor's? Do you fill out the gender/sex you were given at birth, or the one you've transitioned to be? Eye exams, dental appointments, insurance, etc. What do you fill out?

I'm sorry if this came out strange, I tried to word it the best I could!

You have to use your legal information, getting it changed is largely a matter of where you live. The Wiki Staff has pulled all the information together here: https://www.susans.org/wiki/Category:Documentation_changes

I never realized before transitioning how much of a struggle contact forms would be. With every form I either leave it blank for now (if possible) or fill in what suits best there. But if you got to fill it in legally it goes on what is on your passport. In the Netherlands you can change your passport as soon as the hospital lets you start with HRT.

Since my new name starts with the same initial I just use first initial and my last name.

Stuff I don't have to pay for with a credit card or bank account, medical or govt documents I just use my current legal name.

Non important stuff like online signups etc especially for health and beauty I use my new name.

At work and social media I still use my old name. Work is going to have a FT date when I will change over, social media I might just nuke from orbit and start fresh (or simply drop off completely, I am way too addicted).
