Steph,
I remember my early days and sending a letter to my financial advisor. He is a lovely guy but an enormous, rugby playing, car enthusiast, man's man. Who knows his financials.
Anyhow I sent a letter
Dear XX
I have had a legal name to Cindy etc. Please change all of my policies etc into my new name.
Oh I have also changed my gender to female. Could you please update your records.
ps. I bet you have never had a letter like this.
The reply.
Dear Cindy,
I have updated all of the records as needed.
I and all of the staff wish you all the best and great happiness.
You are correct I have never had a letter like that before. May I remove your name from it, frame the letter and display it on my office wall?
My Love and best wishes
XXX
Most people are absolutely lovely. In fact transitioning is a very good way to decide who you will do business with. I have had some very good experiences in that line since my early days and I know who I can trust with anything.
You can now go back to your usual program
Cindy
