It's been a long process. My youngest is trans. He turned 18 last year and started on testosterone shots. He wanted to offically change his name. In my province in Canada, he didn't need a name change for his preferred name at school or his gender. They also had gender neutral bathrooms.
My husband started the process for the name change and gender marker at the same time in August. Papers came back. DH put my maiden name as my married name.
Sent it back. Came back again. They wanted the original note from the doctor that our son wanted his name and gender changed. Sent it back. Then we moved December 21st. I had the mail direct done. Noticed the cheque was processed for the documents in December. Nothing came. Told DH to call who he needs to in January. Well he finally did about a week ago. The documents notice went to our rental in the city and since we were no longer there, it was sent back and they were waiting on a new address. Not sure why the mail direct didn't happened. Anyway, our son had to answer some questions on the phone and they said it would be sent out right away to our new address.
The look of joy on our son's face when we showed him the documents!
And his voice is becoming deeper! So time for a celebration. We are so happy for him.
Last August he told my family. They came to our house for our family Christmas gathering and there was so much acceptation. He has anxiety so this has been a bumpy path to take and I am so proud of him being who his is without fear of family not accepting him. I can't say for the same for the rest of the world but this kid is very much loved by those who matter.
He's smart, can be snarky (gets it from the both of us
), creative, kind, looks out for others and is a bright light in this universe.
