transgender

[42CSurprise!]

New policies were enacted at the day-centre making birth certificates "not an accepted form of identification", Texas identification cards are the only accepted forms now (Texas ID cannot be amended).
All medical records, addressing of individuals, gender, and all other aspects of their care shall be governed by what is stated on their Texas ID regardless of an amended birth certificate. So having PMSD/intersex and a birth certificate that was amended accordingly means nothing in Texas.

That and another rules have been recently added to be stacked up against people like me. It's quite frustrating times at the moment both at home and out and about.

At the day-centre I am definitely seen as transgender and suffering from gender dysphoria simply because I don't quite fit in either gender box.

I think we all anticipated it would go that way with the new administration.  We definitely live in a crazy world when a person with confused genitalia is at the mercy of gender Nazis.  I guess you're in that familiar world of the military decades ago... don't ask, don't tell.  I hope the folks at the center will leave you alone Birdie... or you'll have to put all those Torrid brassieres in mothballs for the duration...

It is what it is, and my attire whilst attending the day-centre will be much more androgynous. Trousers and tees will be the standard. 
I am still using the all-gender restroom for the most part, and staff has been very cautious on talking to me about anything regarding gender. Talking about breasts is absolutely taboo at the centre with any staff member including CNAs.
Even my doctor refuses to talk about breasts, but rather reaches into my bra and does a breast exam without saying a word. Recently when my breast started lactating he really wouldn't talk about it and felt very uncomfortable simply saying," just don't massage it out as that will produce more."
Anyone who mentions my breasts, my body shape, my gender, or what I look like is quickly reprimanded as that subject is taboo at the centre.

Quite refreshingly, I went to the mall shopping in some denim trousers, a t-shirt, and a button-up shirt pulled over my shoulders yesterday. Extremely androgynous looking. As always I was addressed as ma'am everywhere I went. 
Even after buying a slushie and sitting down in the food court to drink it a lady at the other table said," ma'am I think you left something at the counter! "
They can call me a dude, but I don't look like one.

I've had this conversation with other participants in the past expressing that I have never taken hormones except for testosterone in my teens, and I've never had surgery. They really don't believe me.
It doesn't really matter if anybody believes me or not, I am exactly who I am and I'm built exactly as I am built. I Was Born This Way, and I'll die this way.

Birdie, you have a fantastic attitude and I wish you the best on your move to Oregon.
