dunno where to put this, i guess it fits here

yay another post from me! almost seems impossible to come here with the almost constant presence of people in my bedroom  :P

i know its still a far away worry, but im just wondering. If its true all the stuff ive been reading about transexuals in portugal (where i was born and currently live) this is not a place i want to transition.
now lets suppose i move to another (more trans-friendly country) and succesfuly transition, id still need the official name change somewhen. And id need to do it in the country im from (where i have my ID card from), right? considering how we are mostly viewed in portugal, it seems quite difficult to request that... also if i started transition in another country, what would i do about it if i came back (no therapist, no source of hormones, no support, etc.)

i know i know i should worry more about if, how and when i should transition (im pretty sure about the if part ;D) but this helps in defining the when part... i still dont know how i should go on about this... argh why does this life has to be so difficult????

btw. wen i say name change i also mean official sex change and... basically everything that is an official change

You would probably be better off to research the country you would like to transition in.  Spain has started to liberalize recently passing legislation protecting trans rights.  That's not so far from you so I would check out the government of Spain web site and see what info you can dig up.

Just a thought.
