Hey, guys, so today I reached another milestone. I got my new license with the correct gender marker. I could have gotten my registration changed too, but I needed to have the title to my car in order to do that.
Monday I had the day off so I hit the bank, mortgage company, and car/house insurance company. Those places I had to do face-to-face. I am faxing and mailing other things out (electric, cable). There is so much crap to cover! I suppose there is a lot out there with your name when you are 45 years old!
The strangest thing is that in order to change my sewer bill I need to get something written from the lawyer I used when I purchased my house. The deed needs to be changed. That's ridiculous, so I am going to just let that one ride. She explained a way for me to have the bill addressed as "in care of <new legal name>", but my old name will also be on the address label. That's fine to me, as my birth name doesn't really cause me dysphoria.
I still have professional organizations, cable, electric, magazines. I suppose I still have a lot. But, I really have already covered a lot too. I am looking forward to my new medical insurance cards coming in.
I also need to find out about the possibility of getting my college degrees reprinted with my new name.
I can also get a new birth certificate since I have had top surgery, but I am not sure that I want my gender marker changed with my insurance, so I am going to take some time on that one.
