New passport
Along with my job contract I had to send a photo copy of my passport and I noticed it will expire on December 8th.! I need a new one! So today I took my old passport and a new photo to the city office to have this arranged. It is always a nuisance to have to do things like this, because no matter how female I look, I still have a passport with my male name and the dreaded ‘M’ in it, not to mention the picture that was taken five years ago. And I refuse to go in male attire for an occasion like this! No way! I am who I am and I am not going to play hide-and-seek. So I went to the office in my pink skirt suit.
I thought I had brought everything I needed: Old passport, old ID-card, brand new picture taken on the way there, but when I was on my way it crossed my mind that I had forgotten one important thing: The letter from my doctor at the VU, that says: “This person is under our medical care due to male to female transsexuality. Although born in the male sex this person will look and act like a female.“
Fortunately, nobody made a fuss about it at the city office. So I’ll get a passport with my female-looking picture and a male name. It will be ready next week!
In two years from now I will again get a new passport, but then with my female name on it. I can hardly wait! Why does it all have to take so long?!
