Fiona :transbian: :autism:<p>My Mom just picked up my new high-school diploma. 😊<span><br><br>It sadly says “Neuausstellung für das Original-Abiturzeugnis vom 31. Mai 2011” (≈that it is a reprint) at the top, but other than that, this really means that the only remaining documents that I have to replace for my </span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/legalTransition" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#legalTransition</a> are my university degrees (bachelor and master of computer science). Other than that I think I’m actually done with everything that I really want to bother with! 😊<span><br><br></span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/trans" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trans</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/transgender" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transgender</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/transition" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transition</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/transjoy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transjoy</a></p>
Fiona :transbian: :autism:<p>And now I finally have my new ID! 😊<span><br><br>The only remaining steps at this point are replacing my university and high school diplomas and telling my bank, neither of which has high priority right now. </span>☺️<span><br><br>(My bank uses initials everywhere, and those didn't change, so it doesn't affect anything in practice. Still: It might be useful to get this over with as well.)<br><br></span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/transjoy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transjoy</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/legaltransition" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#legaltransition</a></p>
Fiona :transbian: :autism:<p><span>And with that I now have a passport in my actual name and as a bonus the “Dr.” being listed (though they’ve really hidden that one away at this point).<br><br>It’s not quite as big of a milestone as when my name actually changed, but it is more a feeling of this now really being the beginning of the end of my </span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/legaltransition" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#legaltransition</a><span>.<br><br>The photo on it is ghastly though (made to meet both Dutch </span><i>and</i><span> German regulations so I could use it on both documents and maybe I shouldn’t have done it that way.<br><br>Anyways, I can now proof under all necessary circumstances with a proper identity document that every country on Earth will accept, that I am who I am and that that even includes being a doctor. </span>😊<span><br><br>(I might post a picture later, but first I’ll have to take one and censor it.)<br><br></span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/transjoy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transjoy</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/trans" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trans</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/transition" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transition</a></p>
Fiona :transbian: :autism:<p>In other news I just received an email from the general consulate in Amsterdam that my passport is ready for pick-up and an okay from my boss that I can go there tomorrow and do so. 😊<span><br><br></span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/transition" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transition</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/legaltransition" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#legaltransition</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/transjoy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transjoy</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/trans" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trans</a></p>
Fiona :transbian: :autism:<p>This also has a consequence for my <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/legaltransition" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#legaltransition</a>: Because I got to request my new passport so close to the defense, and because you can add a doctoral degree to your passport and ID in Germany, I’ve actually elected to put that request on hold until I have my certificate. Which I received right at the end of the defense and submitted before we even went to eat. So with this I should be able to pick up my passport in 2 to 4 weeks in Amsterdam. 😊<span><br><br></span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/trans" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trans</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/transgender" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transgender</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/transition" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transition</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/transjoy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transjoy</a></p>

🏳️‍⚧️ Fiona :flag_lesbian:<p>And now my name is officially changed in the Netherlands as well, meaning that it (and my gender) have now been updated in the “Basisregistratie Personen” (BRP), from which a lot of places, very notably almost everyone in the healthcare system is pulling their data. 😊</p><p>It will still take a while before it is updated with all my care providers (upto 24h), but this is now actually a thing! 😊</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/transjoy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transjoy</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/transition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transition</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/legalTransition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>legalTransition</span></a></p>
🏳️‍⚧️ Fiona :flag_lesbian:<p>I just received my new birth-certificates as well as a document that states that my name has been changed retroactively since the 25th of November! 😊</p><p>I took an <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/unboxing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unboxing</span></a> video and may post that at some point once I censor some details in it.</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/transjoy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transjoy</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/transition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transition</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/LegalTransition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LegalTransition</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transgender</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/transfem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transfem</span></a></p>
