Legal gender recognition

It seems hard to believe after a nearly one year and a half procedure, but I got it :))) I just got my legal gender changed before the court yesterday ^^ The judge finally found time to examine my file (after delaying it twice during these last months...) and approved all my requests including the modification of our family documents with my wife :) I'm so happy!!! To those still struggling with the same difficulties, hold on and don't give up - you deserve all the best and we will keep fighting to change the rules and claim our rights against administrative transphobia <3

“Our names aren't always the first things to come to mind when we think of our identities. It's something we're born with, but not something that comes naturally. We're given names not because they're important to us, but because they're important to those around us.

But what happens if you feel like you have the wrong name? What if the thing that everyone calls you is akin to an insult?”

3 generations of trans Americans reflect on what has (and hasn't) changed

Trans people in the U.S. have gained more rights in recent years, yet in many states those same rights are under attack. Now they are grappl

I literally just want to punch every transphobic person in the face. It is not your right to make other human beings feel like shit about who they are so just shut up and mind your own damn business.

Reblog or like this if you believe that transgender people should be able to use the bathroom that they feel comfortable using no matter if they have gone through a transgender surgery or not.
