This is basically a heads up for all the transitioning American Women out there. If you are quite sure you are transitioning and it's simply a matter of time, it may be time to get your Passport changed to your real name and gender. Currently the State Dept. issues these documents and it is presently quite simple to change this document without requiring bottom surgery. Your GP or Endo can write a simple letter for you which will be sufficient for you to change this very crucial document. This simplicity may change in the not too distant future leaving you unable to procure certain documents or hinder you from International travel until you have completed GCS, which as we know, some may choose never to do. You can see where this could become horribly problematic. Please go to transequality.org to learn more and consider taking appropriate action to protect your rights and freedoms. Thanks for listening!....Lisa
