After talking with my old high school, it turns out that they refuse to change my name on my records and to issue a new birth certificate. Their rationale is that I do not have a court order which specifically requires the Klein Independent School District to update their records, so they feel that they don’t have to recognize the court order. What assholes! So, what needs to happen now is a court order which will specifically ORDER Klein ISD to change their records to reflect the new name change. But of course, if someone who was lucky enough to get married and have the Klein ISD change their name on their records to their married name, this could help my case dramatically! But sadly, I doubt that I would find someone who even went to a Klein ISD high school who lives here in Colorado. So, what has to happen now is I have to specifically draft a legal petition which will require the Klein Independent School District to legally change my name on their records and to issue a new diploma in the correct name. I am also going to try to have the Colorado court that I petition try to change my gender markers on their records as well. It’s such a good thing that I didn’t take any for-credit courses that were male-specific, like football or physical education! Continue reading ‘Interested in changing your name? Better get a second court order!’

After going through the closest thing to purgatory that an atheist can go through, the greyhound bus, I finalized my legal name change on the 29th of May. ^_^ It was a journey that took me approximately 4 days of hell and torment. The journey started on Tuesday, May 27th, when I arrived at the Denver Greyhound station and had to wait in fucking line for a baggage tag for one of my bags. I was almost worried that the bus would leave me. But the bus ultimately left 45 minutes late because the driver needed to pack about 6 more people onto the bus. And before we even left, a passenger that was drunk as a skunk, took a swing at another passenger before we even left the terminal. Well, at least he got a good night’s rest at Denver County Jail.

On Tuesday, I will be making the trip to Indiana to finalize the legal name change. I have a few sets of clothes packed and enough food to get me there and maybe to help me survive the trip back. I have enough reading material to interest me for the trip there, and when I get back, I will bring back the rest of my reading materials in my second suitcase (hope Areya can spare $5 for the extra suitcase fee that Greyhound levies, I am broke after Wells Fargo levied one false overdraft fee too many). Other than that, I am totally ready and excited to attend the name change hearing before the judge in the middle-of-fucking-nowhere, Indiana. And I am totally excited to head the hell back here to Colorado and obtain my fully female ID card with the DR 2083 that I had to have Dr. Wilson sign.

I am not an angry person, seriously! However, I do have a difficult time with people from my past using my male name. To be honest, it sickens me to no end and I feel completely horrible that some people have to be such sleazebags to continue to use the old name, at least (they claim) until the name change. Guess what? I am Jessica and I am not that old male persona. So, please show me a little fucking respect and dignity by calling and referring to me by my name. Sorry, had to vent there!
