TS finding a job?

[puffy]

Hi everyone.
If I have my male name printed in some high school report card, university degree certs etc how do I change it, is it possible?
Is it possible to change the sexes and name of birth certificates, passports etc.?
Try to image a totally passable young mtf (about24-25), her voice, face, body, height etc is totally acceptable as female (voice maybe little deeper but still feminine) and somewhat beautiful. Will it be hard for her to find a job if the employer finds out that she was a "man"?
Pls share your expierences and provide advises many thx  😉

I modified my university records when I changed my name legally.  All I had to do was to take the court order to their office, and eventually they did send me my transcripts with the new name.  They also changed the gender marker in their system.  If you have a court order name change, you shouldn't encounter any problems.  However, if you changed your name through a common law name change, then you'd have to show more proof that shows that people know you as your new name.

I never got around to changing my university records.  But I have a nice job that's better than the one I had before I transitioned.  So I'm not altogether that worried about it.  If they had asked about the discrepency, I would have succinctly explained it, and that would have been that.

I would highly suggest moving to a "blue" state, because I interviewed for many jobs, and got this one, and I don't think I'm like not obviously trans, but I have never been asked about or have had it made an issue even once.

If you have it in mind to be your true gender when you look for work, be the best woman you can be that day.  Dress as well as you can, appropriately, and use your makeup if you're so inclined.  With makeup, less is more, and remember to *blend, blend, blend!*

I've never had the opportunity or qualifications to go to University....

As it  was stated, if you live in a blue state (or DC which might as well be one), finding a job is much easier and there are often anti-discrimination protections.  Also move to a CITY, a large one or one with a well known liberal bias.  As much as people in the south do not believe it makes a difference to live in a large northern city, it makes a HUGE difference as far as employment.  I live in DC, I am out at work, transitioned on the job, living full time. 

Education though also makes a huge difference.  If you can apply to professional level jobs you are going to be alot better off.
