Big step!

[Ciara]

Hi girls, I wanted to share my big step with all my sisters - Today I drummed up the courage to go down the the DMV ( Department of Motor Vehicles) and apply for my CA ID as Ciara. I normally go out as Ciara during the day and it's really no big deal at this point for me, but today was different.

As I was getting ready I was telling myself that this is a natural progression for Ciara. I put together a very pretty springtime look that was perfect for a daytime outing.

When I arrived at my destenation I was overtaken by ALL the people in a downtown LA DMV at once. As I stood in line I felt really comfortable and didn't notice to many looks - (which was such a big plus)!

After about an hour or so of waiting and two trips to the ladies room to check my makeup they finally called my number and it was showtime. The young lady asked me "How can I help you Honey" and at that point I knew Ciara would be fine.

After it was all done and said I felt so pleased that I went through with it. In responce to Karen's post about peaking, I feel that Ciara/me is just getting started and I turning the page on this life journey.

If your still with me I'm sorry this post got away from me and became so long.
Hopefully my experience will help some of you girls go out and get your Femme ID.

Good for you, Ciara! :)

Been tossing this idea around in my head, but it will probably be some time before acting upon it if I decide to.

I'm glad your experience was a positive one. Stories like this offer me a little inspiration.

Someone here not to long ago talked about getting a Texas state ID. I think the deal was that you can have both a drivers license, and a state ID with different pictures, but the names and gender information and everything else would need to be the same on both cards... but my memory is faulty... check it out before you go.

Hi Ciara,

As a fellow LA person, I'm thinking of doing the same thing.

Tell me, what kind of documentation (if any) did you need to bring, or was a CA driver's license enough?

BTW, I now go to the Santa Monica DMV, much less crowded. I've gone to the downtown one -- what a zoo!

I'm out all over town day and night, too. Give me a PM if you want to meet up sometime.

Regards,

Diane

Congrats Ciara, I am contemplating doing the same.
