Well, the gears grind slowly with State Government, but I got my letter today from the MVA inviting Ms Beverly to come in and get a new license, with a FEMALE gender marker. I was sooo excited, I cried for twenty minutes.
After I got there, I almost forgot to use my female voice. The only disappointment was, some dumbdumb supervisor said I couldn't get the name change without a court order. I pointed out that I wished to make a common law name change, for which they clearly had a box to check off, but nooooo.
But that's okay, for now. I'll make it right next week. What I care about now, is not that the license is in the name of Michael Beverly _____ , but that even so, it clearly says female. What a relief! I love looking at the gender marker on the license, and dust it off periodically :D . Anyway, I can conduct business with proper ID, AND....use the ladies room anywhere in the USA without the potty gestapo getting me busted......not that it's a problem now......I've never had a problem. But it is always on the back of my mind, anyway.
Now, to find the cubby-hole employee next week at the MVA to get my name corrected! Probably cost me a dozen hours on the phone. That's okay....it'll give me lots of practice with my phone voice.
Bev,
FEMALE
Good for you, Beverly.
I like your attitude about honing the phone voice. May as well take away all you can from the downside of this experience.

Whoo hoo! Congratulations!
I got mine (the official one) in the mail today too. The picture's pretty awful but the F makes up for it!
hugs & smiles

Beverly and Emelye,

Congratulations! I'm looking forward to getting mine changed this fall.
Although sometimes I don't even think people look at it, at least not the name and gender part of it. I got carded twice today for credit card purchases and I think all they looked at was the name and signature to see if it vaguely resembled the name and signature on the credit card.

Yummy,
You may have to use air frieght for me to receive mine. Me thinks the ice creame should be stuck to the outside of the plane so it does not melt. Congratulations Beverly
