hi i am Lizzy Bea, i would like to introduce myself

I like cooking, shopping, fitness, pets, children, studying in college, crocheting, clothes, interior decorating, volunteering, I work as a retail cashier.

I started transition June 2013, I have been full time 7 months and on hormones for 4 months. I am working on name gender marker change and grs. I have an awesome support network and I see a GD therapist, I am out everywhere I go, my family supports me

I was wondering what forum to post to get help with my name/ gender marker change here in California? (in purple font)

heres the steps to gender/name change my counselor and I came up with at the center for disabled, does everything look ok?
1. doctors letter (declaration of physician's form)
2. complete court documents & go to hearing
3. file with California department of health for gender marker on birth certificate (within 30 days of hearing)
forms all located http://www.courts.ca.gov/selfhelp-namechange.htm


"i believe in myself, I can do the impossible", "i can change my future and better myself", I love life and I love myself", "smile and laugh, till it hurts, and dream"
