Passing Aural Exams

A recent show on transgendered persons told the story of one TG girl (genetic boy) who had her driver's license changed from M to F (apparently, you can just do that) and when she then later decided to change it back (as you do?) she had a hard time convincing them "she" was really a "he!" He-larious, because she was still pre-op with all original (male) equipment! Wouldn't that be a fun conversation with the DMV?

Well... I just had a similar conversation with Comcast. Seems only my male name is authorized to make changes to my account, and the CSR wanted me to put my husband on the phone to authorize me to make changes to my account. LOLLERCOPTERS! Rather than just dropping my voice and adding Clio's name, I just took the compliment and said thanks, but no thanks; he (my husband) could make all the changes from here on.

And why not a two-fer? The same thing happened while on the phone with the insurance company!

Teehee, I'm passing on the phone now! I always said I was my own wife, but apparently I am also my own husband!

I sure hope it's as easy to get the 'F' on my driver's license as it was for her! If I can get them to change to 'F' on my new birth certificate... that would be ideal, because then I know I could get the driver's license change, but more importantly, I could get my passport with an 'F'! That would enable me to live as a woman outside America without all those embarrassing border check moments!
