there was another thread on this...
i havent and will not change my name because it was picked out and given to me by my mother on a trip to france to meet my fathers family.she passed away when i was young and its one of the few things i have of her left.
my name is pretty gender ambiguous anyway.

so...keeping your boy name as a tribute to your mother is more important that completing your transition as a woman?

a name is a critical identifier for more than obvious reasons...ultimately its the only thing that is ever really you...so i do find it odd that you would rather keep something that doesn't accurately represent who you are trying to become.

for the girls (regular girls, not in the biz) that i know that have transitioned...the name change procedure and choice was highly symbolic and meaningful for them.

maybe when you are a porn star or have built a reputation with a stage/escorting name, the symbolism is less important

the symbolism behind my birth name (not boy name) is more important to me than some random name i can pick that doesnt have the same history or emotional significance.
changing my name isnt going to make me feel more like a woman.that is something that has to come from within.its kinda like how girls think getting this surgery or that surgery will validate them as being a woman but it never does if they already dont have that self validation.
like i stated before, my name is pretty gender ambiguous (meaning it doesnt sound feminine or masculine and can go both ways).if a trans woman was given a birth name like "adrian" there isnt really any need to change it in order to pass.

ps.what this whole completing your transition thing.its pretty much up to the individual girl to decide when she feels like shes reached a completion in her transition.there is no standard point at which one is like 'ahh im done now'.for some they feel completed when they get srs and for others it can be the moment they get breast implants.

I actually thought about going BACK to my old name & Gender marker...


I come from one of THREE states that DO NOT allow changes on birth certificates REGARDLESS of surgery or not. ( Tennessee ) So I will ALWAYS be male. on paper.


And the reason for converting back...I just want everything to match...I dont like having something different there.....something different here....Etc Etc.


I am sooo freakin passable its unreal....So me having Andre' on my license would not make a bit of difference.

Lovely. Well, he's not terribly far from Nashville, which is fairly liberal I'm told, so I'm trying to stay (cautiously) optimistic.
