Title: registered to vote, and they put me as "male"
Post by: Elijah3291 on February 04, 2012, 10:54:56 PM

I have moved states, and yesterday I registered to vote. I had given the woman my old North Carolina ID, telling her I was planning to get a new one soon. My current ID has a little white nail polish smudged on the "F" making it hard to read, but it isnt fully covered you can still see the top line of the F

anyway, when she handed me my form to check for errors, she had put me as male

I was super excited, and a little shocked, and I am hoping that when i get my new ID, they will simply look at me and give me a "M" on my ID

It has happened to a trans friend of mine, he got a new ID and they said "sir, your ID says female, do you want us to fix that mistake" and he said "it does? omg I never even noticed, yes please fix that" lol

just wanted to share

Congrats! Sounds like one of those feel good moments, almost as good as when you find money on the ground.

I know a guy that had changed his name but not gender and went into the DMV when his renewal license arrived and said "do I look like a girl to you?" They corrected it without question and reissued a license with an M marker. At the time though gender was still being checked through the Social Security Administration so there were a few speed bumps he encountered later down the road, but nothing major.

Haha awesome! I've heard of that happening as well. Hopefully it'll work for you too. :)

Lol cool.
I had a doctor do that once. She started laughing and said "the funniest thing is they have you in here as a girl! I'm gonna go fix that."

WOW !!! What an offer. What's the name of your doctor? She can certainly do the same for me -- ANYTIME -- I'm available 24/7. (ROFL)

On a more serious note however, many years ago when I changed Superannuation companies they obviously must have intercepted my psyche and registered my membership in the category of Ms. with all appropriate pronouns. I am still stoked.

Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa huggs
