    Legally Me.

    On Wednesday November 4, 2015, the state of Florida legally changed my label to match my inner self.
    Thanks again to all who have been a true source of support.

    Congratulations! I hope you didn't face too much resistance from the court system. It takes a while to change everything else; I'm still encountering things a year after.
    Life is an endless struggle full of frustrations and challenges, but eventually you find a hairstylist you like.

    Hi Char,

    It must be a wonderful feeling to have that "official" affirmation. Yes, Florida has done something right -- congratulations!

    CONGRATS!!! My court order came by mail the last of August, a great day. But my biggest thrill came with the driver's license, and having ID letting the world know who I really was.

    Coming out is like discovering that you've been drowning your whole life after actually breathing air for the first time.
