Transgender Name Change, voice and hormone struggles

Just got my named legally changed to Emma Grace. Unfortunately had my estrogen reduced. Joined a Roller Derby Rec League. Get to be the Maid of Honor in my bestie's wedding.

FYI - the sound gets a little out of sync in the middle and starts to sync back up a couple minutes later. Sorrrrrryyyy!!!

Emma congrands on your name change. Here in Virginia the fee is only 37.50 and don't have to go to court. What gets you here is Divison of Motor Vehicles. I promise I will say only good things or nothing at all. LOL. Hugs and Kisses, Emma.

@MsRebecca1000 - Oh man 37 dollars and no court, totally jealous, no fairs!!! :-) That's totally awesome tho.

Here in Colorado after you get back back round checks etc you apply for name change. Then it has to be published for 2 weeks in a small weekly paper Then go before judge and thats it pretty easy. No appointments or witnesses One thing they asked at DMV is that you go to SS 1st so the name on DL coincides with Social Security card. Might save a trip and wait at DMV ---CONGRATS

@kimianne123 - Seriously? Published in a weekly paper... I dunno, that'd be a little uncomfortable to me. Every states different I guess...

Wow, That's probably what I sound like but then again I'am not going down the road you are. I think your female voice sounds passable but what makes it work for you is your smile and attitude. I look forward to your videos and wish to cheer you on. I wonder if the birth record thing might affect the legality of marriage to a same born sex partner. Hope we defeat this stupid constitutional amendment anyway and bring some change to the way things are. Best of luck Emma and enjoy your new year!

@morg52 - Thanks for the compliment on my voice. Yeah, I'm usually a pretty happy confident person. Never thought that'd help the perception of my voice. :-) Merci!

It was funny when you said YES YES YES cause just before that you said that they asked you are you trying to avoid debt by changing your name. lol just joking.

No makeup on the cheeks and your cheekbones are beautiful

Congrats on the name change! And I think your current voice is fine, definitely in the normal range for women. Have fun with the derby!

[kimianne123]

Yeah the publishing was a little weird. It was just old name changed to new name and no other info. They do it in case you are doing it for finances etc. Its stuck in the classifieds under legal notices. I couldn't find mine at first and freaked--thought they forgot. LOL BTW SS was really easy
