Hi Chrissie,
I have a technical question about name change. You don't have to answer this, but what medical documents did you need to provide? Under the UK Gender Recognition Act 2004, you girls have the constitutional right to live in a chosen gender. It's a legal matter, and legislators did a lot of groundwork to demedicalise it. I wonder how it works in practice.
The Dutch civil code still requires that you cannot have children in your original gender any more. Nice, huh!? Get yourself chemically castrated, just like any other vice convict. The Belgian rules were updated in 2007, but much more conservative than the GRA. Same thing in Germany.
