went to the DMV and got a new picture taken and updated my gender on my ID!!!! in NYS the gender marker is self-reported with no legal schmuff so it was really easy :3

my old ID photo is terrible... so much facial hair... too little head hair... honestly if it weren't for the dysphoria I might just get in trouble for having a viscerally different photo from what I actually look like ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

can't change my name, that's a bit more of an involved legal process... but I'm working on it. in the meantime, this is way way better than nothing.

can't wait for it to arrive :3

and as a reward for reading say hi to Buddy :3

Different state here but my kid discovered it's easier to change your last name when you get married but changing your first name is a whole different thing. Funny how entrenched paternalism makes one the accepted norm while rejecting the other as woke
