California has made it so that you can apply to the court to get your name and gender changed at the same time as long as you have a medical doctors affidavit that you have undergone appropriate medical treatment for gender reassignment.
You have to file a petition with the court and get a court date. You used to have to publish a notice in the newspaper for 4 consecutive weeks that you had applied to have your name changed and give the public notice of your court date. The law was recently changed to eliminate the publication request for gender based name changes.
Thank you for the complement on my jacket. It is an Ann Taylor. I am a trial lawyer and so I have to have court appropriate clothing.

Oh. Is is that easy to change your name? Great!
You seem to have better fashion sense than me. It is a nice jacket.
