I recently joined. I am in the process of severing all ties and having to justify everthing. I have already done EVERYTHING to be a female. SSA wont change my gender marker. My drivers license and name are male.
What do you mean by severing all ties? I hope you still have family and friends to support you.

Hello, what part of CO are you from?
I lived in Colorado Springs for quite a while in the 90s :icon_wave:
Hi Raven. I completely understand the desire to just get away.
I hope you will be able to build yourself a new life.
Hi Raven, :icon_wave:
Welcome to our little family. Over 8320 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion.
Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams. Ask questions and seek answers. Give and receive advice.
But remember we are family here, your family now. And it is always nice to have another sister. (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys.on-my-web.com%2Frepository%2FAnimals%2Fferret-3.gif&hash=f49e2f86761323f2abd9c33941920389dbb3b10f)

Hi Raven, glad you found us! I'm up near Boston. There's always room for new friends here, see you around. Hugs, Devlyn
Welcome and I am concerned. You need friends and support for transition. If you have done everything ? you would have had SRS surgery. SSA will only change a gender marker for MTFs with a surgeon's letter stating so. That is their policy, backwards for a Federal agency, but part of Homeland security issues. If you have such a letter, then either speak to a supervisor, and tell them they are violating their own policy, or see a lawyer. We have a few people in Phoenix that are currently suing the SSA for gender discrimination.
