Changing my name both in France and in the USA requires quite an organization.

I need a valid French id for the change in France.
Which I don't have.

To get a valid French id I need to provide a bill or something like that with my birth name and my current US address.

Which means until I get my French id with my birth name I can't change my name in the US.

Then I can make my US name change.

Which will actually help to convince a French judge to accept my name change.

So easy./s

Hello all, it's your friendly neighborhood mod Glitch and I am in need of some help!

I am a trans nonbinary neurodivergent disabled individual who is unable to work and I have not been able to qualify for disability.

"Pitched by Republicans as a “parents' bill of rights,” like many similar bills in states across the country, SB 12 is a lengthy law that doesn’t just target trans+ students. Its nearly 40 pages contain a wishlist of right-wing talking points about public education.

SB 12 broadly targets schooling that acknowledges queer and trans life. It also bans clubs “based on sexual orientation or gender identity,” like Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs), which have been vital sources of support for LGBTQ+ students at schools around the country since the first GSAs’ founding in 1972. According to the ACLU of Texas, it may also put an end to clubs that support women, Black and Brown people, and other marginalized groups. The law prohibits “developing or implementing policies, procedures, trainings, activities, or programs that reference race, color, ethnicity, gender identity, or sexual orientation” and prevents school staff from supporting the mental, physical, or emotional health of students without getting explicit permission from their parents.

Ash Hall, a policy and advocacy strategist on LGBTQIA+ rights for the ACLU of Texas, told Teen Vogue they believe the restrictions around mental health care could also have wide-ranging impacts on LGBTQ+ kids. “If a student is, for example, going to start seeking counseling at school based on struggles they’re experiencing around their gender identity or sexual orientation, then alerting the parents and guardians that the student is seeking that could open that student up to being outed,” said Hall."

Ada's gender-affirming self-care list for this weekend:

  • Dress up: Dress and warm stockings
    • I also need to do house-keeping, so why not :akko_giggle:
  • Press on nails: But do I go strawberry or pink :neocat_pleading:
  • Olaplex hair mask: for smoothness
  • Full-body laser & shave, with some good lotion and nice smells
  • Face-mask with Vit-5 cure: Hopefully kill some acne

Oh, and I need to pick up a basket of fresh strawberries snacks and some cucumbers for the slices :akko_giggle:

Can anyone help me get some new work shoes? My boots broke this morning and it's the only non slip shoes I have. I can't afford them right now since my last paycheck was only 2 days of pay :floof_Woozy: These are the cheapest ACTUAL non slip shoes I can find that dont' cost an arm and a leg

I still have to pay my phone bill and my doctors shenanigans so I won't be able to afford new ones but the only way my boots are working right now is if I wrap laces all around and tie it to my ankle :floof_Woozy:


Literally anything helps, thank you.

From my first story in Teen Vogue:

Thanks to Texas’s version of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay" bill, teachers at some public schools are under pressure to deadname their students. Under #Texas Senate Bill 12 (SB 12), which was signed into law this summer, some schools are forcing transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming students to go by their legal names, rather than by their correct chosen names.

“It’s been really degrading because it’s so targeted,” said James, a transmasculine high school senior in San Antonio’s North East Independent School District (NEISD). “This can’t be interpreted…as anything else but an attack directly on trans kids.” (Teen Vogue is using pseudonyms for many of the students, teachers, and others interviewed for this article to protect them from possible harassment and/or retaliation for speaking with the press.)

James and other trans students in his school are struggling with the district's implementation of the law. An email from his high school’s principal sent home to families just before the first day of classes read, “We cannot accommodate requests from students or parents for names that suggest a different biological sex.”
