I agree with Rose,you should pick a gender and stick with it.If you are a true transexual,there is no such thing as "Almost Full Time".You either live full time,(and that means 24 hours a day seven days ),or you don`t.......PERIOD!!!!.I can`t understand how any TRUE transexual would be comfortable having a male name and documentation.I could not do it ,it would drive me mad.It makes me feel sick if I receive any junk mail in my old male name!!Anyway there is no excuse for having duel identitity anymore.Here in the UK you can change all your documentation to the correct gender apart from your birth certificate,if you are pre-op.I started a new job recently and had to have a CRB check done.They rang me up after a few weeks to tell that I had filled out the form incorrectly.I asked why?,they said I had a female name and title but had ticked the male box where it asked you for your gender.
So I explained to them that I was a pre-op male to female transexual and that I thought I had to tick the male box because that is what is still on my birth certificate.She said it did`nt matter anymore,she said if I am living full time as female I can put female on any documentation,and I did`nt even have to declare my old name if I did`nt want to,it`s all confidential now.So she changed my gender to female there and then over the telephone,like it was an every day occurance.......amazing!!!
So my point is.......and I know some of you will disagree with me........there are no excuses in modern society for duel identity if you are a TRUE transexual.......you are either committed or you are not........if not then you are not a TRUE transexual,so please don`t waste my time with your petty arguements.
