Clara The top pic was last year, early fall in Wyoming shortly before things started changing for the better.... At the time I was even fatter than the second one that is from about 3 years ago

Bottom pic was 2 days ago and I got my new DL yesterday

definately an inspiration! way to go girl! you should be proud of yourself! hugs!

THANKS all of you, I really appreciate it

I just realized Im going to my new doc tomorrow, donno why I was thinking the 7th was Friday Cant wait to see how that works out

Ive also been digging deeper into the SD statutes for changing gender on a DL...

I decided to email the SD ACLU and see If they can tell me what "gender has been medically altered" means It sure is vague and it certainly says nothing about "proof or surgery" like I was told by the DMV I dont think... We'll see what they say, here's what I wrote... Any suggestions on improving or rewriting and resubmitting it would be appreciated, Im no wordsmith for sure Id happily be the one to sue em via the ACLU to get this BS overturned or changed to be more in line with other states and the FEDS policies
I can keep bugging them until they get back to me



Hi I recently had my name changed by court order... I am working on transition from male to female.... I had no problem with changing gender to female with the SSA and the state department for my passport... My doctor who prescribes my HRT wrote the letter they require.... I did get my name and picture on my drivers license changed to the new me but I was told Id need "proof of surgery to change my gender" to have a F put on my license..... I was born in North Carolina and the law there is much clearer for changing my birth certificate if that even matters??? I havent had any surgery or changed my birth certificate YET....

Ive read the SD code regarding drivers license and could find no reference to gender/sex other than it's a required data element on a drivers license...

"In order for an applicant to change the gender on their driver license, they must present the examiner a signed affidavit from a licensed physician certifying that the applicant's gender has been medically altered. In the case of a name change, due to a change in gender, a legal document showing the name change is required."

Im wondering If you have any idea what that means exactly??? It doesn't say for instance "surgically" altered, or even permanently medically altered.... Id think it could be argued changing ones hormonal balance to that of a female, developing female body characteristics and permanent breasts, and essentially chemical castration and sterilization MIGHT be enough to satisfy the statute???

Im sure at least one of my doctors would write me a vague letter with the vague phrase thats in the statute for me IF I could show them some kind of official legal assurance to back them up.... I also wonder how the DMV clerk would have any basis to challenge such a letter if I presented it with a copy of the statute???

Any information you could give me concerning this would be great, you can call me anytime at XXX XXX XXXX if you would like or a reply to this email would be great as well

Thanks, E

Well I saw my new doc today

It WAS kinda weird going to the OB/GYN clinic with a bunch of pregnant women and annoying little kids running around all over the place I was cool though and not one kid even gave me the slightest funny look

I had no trouble there at all, hell I must be doing something right because I just get treated like a woman now everywhere I go

Hard even for me to believe its only been 4 months on HRT....

I had to get two new tires put on my van before I went to the doc and it was HARD to try to play dumb girl about tires LOL... I know ALL about that, I guess Im still a master mechanic in my mind at least

I did though and while it was kinda weird it also felt great... I did just fine

So anyway I had to sit in this busy waiting room for an hour before they finally called me Then the nurse took my weight and blood pressure and we made small talk about the Sturgis motorcycle rally.... Strange I was 120/80, it was 112/84 last time and Ive upped my spiro from 200-300mg since last time...

Then anther 1/2 hour wait in the exam room, at this point Im really getting annoyed

Finally the doc shows up (VERY CUTE BTW) with another younger male med student and asks if he can sit in.... Im like sure.... Im just happy to finally see someone after an hour and a half wait He gives me some BS excuse and we get down to business...

First he asks how long on HRT??? 4 months... Then how long have you felt this way??? For as long as I can remember Blah Blah Blah Do you want to have SRS??? Yes but I want more time to feminize and get real life experience as a woman first.... Are you seeing a shrink and do you have a surgeon in mind??? No but while I do have a shrink and a surgeon in mind I want to get my HRT optimized and taken care of first... Then a bunch of other questions I didnt really think he needed to know about including, financial stuff and if I had a BF.... Of course I told him I just broke up with my BF but I still have a GF

I tell him about how I like the transdermal E a lot better than the pills but its expensive and messy and just an all around pain and Im tired of having to get my meds from overseas online.... I mention I want better lab work too... Then I tell him Id really like to get IM injections weekly

He starts talking about how he's new to TS patients but he has been trying to learn... Then he reviews all the options for E he can do and says he likes the transdermal E too... I say why mess with all that mess Why not IM injections weekly 15 mg to start and lets drop the spiro down to 100mg or lower He says his "guidelines" say 10mg weekly is the max... I tell him Im already taking what has to be about the max with the patches, gel and oral Im on... He agrees and says he can do labs and start me on 10mg weekly IM next week

He also said we could keep everything else the same to start, just change the E first and get that right then adjust the spiro... I mention that with the IM injected E in the right dose I might not even need the spiro at all So I ask him if Id be able to just come in once a week and get my shot??? Im fine with that I say but I dont want to have to pay a co pay every week.... I guess Id be OK doing them myself but Id need to be trained in how to do that... He says "we'll figure it out"

He is a very highly regarded OB/GYN here in this somewhat small town and from what Ive read researching him a bit of a pro abortion activist in SD.... While Im personally against that in most cases thats his right I figure...

Anyway I told him about my BS with the DMV and the vagueness of the SD law.... I told him about the state department and SSA administrations policies and how Im a female with them.... I mentioned how Ive been writing the ACLU looking for clarity on this but I havent heard back from them

He seems impressed with that and says he knows people with the ACLU in New York He says he will look into it and if theres anything he can do to help with the DMV he will

SO I really think Im gonna like this guy Hope the labs come out OK next week and I can get enough IM E prescribed

OK so I just got a call here the next day from his nurse who I liked a lot too She says she is ordering estradiol cypionate 10mg to be injected IM once a week I tell her I though it would be EV and Im not sure what the difference is??? So she says she will look into that and call me back... She says she will do the injections for as long as I want or she can teach me how to do them myself if I get tired of coming in once a week

SO Im just waiting for the E2 to get there sometime next week, then we do a lab test and I start with injections

I cant tell you how happy I am to finally find what appears to be a very good doc here in rural SD

Im also REALLY looking forward to dropping all the gel goop, patches and pills for a simple injection once a week by a very pretty and kind young nurse

Eve,
Wow you must be holding the land speed record for the transgender community. I am in ore and will have to read all your posts again so I can learn some of what you know.

Congrats on everything and your new avatar.

Hugs from a jealous UK Transgenderist.

Thanks Heather Yes I guess things really are going fast AND very well even though to me it seems like Im going nowhere most of the time

I am so jealous. Seriously. I cannot wait until I move elsewhere and get on depot shots.

Sorry to make you jealous, your hair makes me jealous

Postman is getting more comfortable bringing packages for signature LOL
I actually had to ask him "which name do I sign" It was the old one... I told him I wont be using that one anymore and Eva is the new one

In this case it was 6 tubes of Oestrogel.... Hopefully with the injections I wont be needing it but it will be nice to have on hand in case I dont feel like I have enough E or just in case the zombie apocalypse strikes I doubt I'll need it though, 10mg E injected SHOULD be enough Im also looking forward to seeing what the labs say about my current regime

My new SS card and bank debit card in my new name came today too

Thanks, really I never thought Id be an inspiration to anyone
The old me may be dead legally but unfortunately he still lives in my head and the memories remain... It is getting much better though... Actually having dreams now where Im female in them

Love the new name Sis, Good Luck

Thanks Eva I could not stand whybreasts any more I think that was just a cry for help. I look a lot like you old photos and you make me so want to try and do what you did. How did you lose all of that weight?. As soon as I get back from SCC I plan on going to a gender therpist, and I found a good one two hours away. Robin
