went to the DMV and got a new picture taken and updated my gender on my ID!!! in NYS the gender marker is self-reported with no legal schmuff so it was really easy :3
my old ID photo is terrible… so much facial hair… too little head hair… honestly if it weren’t for the dysphoria I might just get in trouble for having a viscerally different photo from what I actually look like 😭😭
can’t change my name, that’s a bit more of an involved legal process… but I’m working on it. in the meantime, this is way way better than nothing.
can’t wait for it to arrive :3
and as a reward for reading say hi to Buddy :3



tysm, it’s not easy but I’m living as me which I would fight for any day :3
