Legally changing my gender!

In the state of WI you must have "surgery" before you can legally change your gender marker. So I called the Office of Vital Records and talked to Hal and asked him "what kind of surgery do you need" His answer "the surgery." I responded with "which one?" His answer "The Surgery!" I of course had to say "do you know how many types of surgery a person could have? Which one are you talking about?" His answer "DO YOU WANT ME TO MAIL THE FORM OR NOT?" I said "no thanks."

Well, just a couple of years later and here I am again and this time I did want the form mailed. I have had chest surgery and I am ready to complete the form and get a new birth certificate. I will have the old birth certificate impounded so that it can not be accessed.

It's a boy!!!!!

  2. Congrats! I have the unfortunate situation of having been born in Idaho, so my BC will never change... But YAY for you!
