It's Official
As of yesterday (okay, the day before yesterday if you want to be technical, but I haven't slept yet so it's still today, dammit) I AM LEGALLY MALE.
On my driver's license. I haven't updated my birth certificate yet, and obv haven't done the SSA since they require surgery (unless, apparently, you're really lucky and presenting well when you go in to change your name with them). But according to the document pretty much anyone in the world will ever see, I'm male. Despite an iffy experience at DMV, I'm thrilled.
Which is a good thing, since the rest of my life is basically shit right now. I'm mostly keeping up on my word count, though I flaked out about posting updates about it a long while ago, but other than that . . . I'm in a bad place right now.
I'm considering doing my legal name change ASAP, since I can apparently get the filing fee waived, but that depends on the other costs involved, like publishing the notice and updating all of my other paperwork.
