Are you having to pay the court fees every time you go to court and they don't hear it?? I'm going to court in Nov. in Tarrant Ct. to get the name change and will attempt the gender change at that point to try to save money..

No You just pay once to file it with the court. It was $370 I think.... I remember it was three and a seemingly random number lol. I think it varies co to co though.

I changed my gender marker at the social security office in Mckinney, and took that documentation and the surgery letter to the dps. this was in august of this year. Try that!

:D Really now? hmm... Ill have to try that for sure! But I still have to get the court documentation for my out od state birth cert, passport and international DL

Correction: You didn't chose this. You are who you are. You were born a male, you are a male. It confuses other people and if they don't think it's a big deal, then they should comply because this is your life and you deserve to be happy. Good luck on the gender marker change.

omg that sucks gracefullcorn

well he will have to get over it eventually.. ya know? depending how old you are... you might just have to decide whats more important.. you being comfortable with yourself, or your dad getting a reality check and realizing some people dont think the same way he does... good luck!

Ty,my dad is the most conservative man ever-he calls people fags dikes and freaks.You seem to have more experience...do u think he'll accept me(i'm ftm)

you might have answered this already somewhere, I didn't check the comments: why are you going to court for this?

It was my impression that for drivers lic/social security all that is required is a letter from your surgeon and possibly therapist. I know for a fact that SS will change your marker without a court order. Once SS changes it, then the DMV has to change it.

Now, if you're trying to do this for your birth certificate then it's a different story.

I totally understand I havent told my parents about my condition but I hate having to live my life as a female cause its not who I am...wish people would learn to be more accepting and not judgemental....parents are the worse of the whole process I feel like cause if there not accepting it makes things really tough....there in your life thats why....who gives a damn what random people or judges say....stay focused with everything and good luck!

hey man... you can get your marker changed and you don't have to file in your county. i got mine changed on my tx id. there are no judges in your county that will work with you... by law you can take your order out of your county

So~ I've been confused about this since forever.

When you get your name or gender marker changed, you can do that from where you live presently? I kept thinking you had to go back to the state where you were born, or something.

Dude. You may have to move out of TX if you want to move your gender marker. Many move to CA and after 6 months you can do it with no problems. Sorry you have to go through all that and yes it is BS. Seriously though you should think about moving to a more liberal State. It would make your life a hell of a lot easier.
