And time for more of an update, because I'm really bored.
Been on testosterone for nearly a year now. The year mark will be later this month. I had promised my parents I would only be on testosterone injections for a year, so that journey is nearly over.
So as of recently, I have begun the legal battle of legally changing my name and gender marker.
The name change part is nothin' special. I went through the whole process before, until my parents blackmailed me out of it. Just a bunch of form, postin' it in the newspaper, waitin' a month, and then waitin' to hear from the judge.
The gender change, however, is a bit more tricky. Since it doesn't happen as often, obviously, there are no official forms to fill out, so I had to create my own petition to submit to the court. Did the best I could, and acquired an official letter from my doctor statin' that I had undergone the physical steps necessary for a gender change and what not. Similar to the name change, I gotta wait for a notice from the judge, and will most likely be summoned for a hearin'. On top of that, had to fork over about $400 just to file the various stuff, so yay for that.
Anyhoo, I would like to think that I have now reached a point where I pass as male. This seems to be the case, since I am always referred to in male pronouns by strangers I interact with, which is wonderful and makes me feel happier than words can describe.
On the downside, however, when I quit my injections, certain physical changes will be revertin' back, which will not be fun. I am lucky in the fact that the changes that are the most important to me, such as vocal changes, are permanent. The other one in facial hair, which I am desperately hopin' will fill up enough to look good before I end my injections. For most people, it is stated that it takes many years for an individual to produce enough facial hair for it to look convincing, or at least past the point of it lookin' like a teenager just recently reaching puberty, so my chances of reachin' beyond that stage are slim, which is a bit upsettin', but there is nothin' I can do about it.
Because I'm bored, here is my facial hair growth success thus far. Not the best, but a valiant effort. I think this link will work
Anyhoo, just thought I'd post an update. Gonna probably post a more accurate update once the legal nightmare and injections are over.
