Since last year we can change our name without surgery and now this, VIVA QUEBEC! and Canada of course, getting better all the time. Strange though that for some of us our governments seem to be more open, aware and sympathetic to our cause than family, friends and the general public but hey, guess it means that the best is still ahead and since good times always take time... I'll wait right here but it's ok, I got plenty to do in the meantime! Thank you for this Stephanie and take good care of yourself, Rose.
(I meant: we can change the sex mention on our identity cards, in other words, 'legaly change sex' even without undergoing genital surgery. Anyone can change their first name anytime they want but the govt made it easier, much easier for us than anyone else in society. Sorry for the confusion.
