suzyscottdotcomI was in a bit of a hurry earlier when I mentioned this, that I forgot to explain it all - again.
Under UK law, anyone can change their name at any time, but the gender logged under all officialdom does not change, until you get a Gender Recognition Certificate (which later leads to a new birth certificate in the correct names and gender). These are generally issued after a few years of living in role.
So, in laymans terms, it means I'm no longer Susanna Rebecca Scott Formerly Known As Andrew Erling Gronneberg, but now, legally just MISS Susanna Rebecca Scott.
After lots of paperwork, the (most recent) hearing was yesterday. Paperwork and stuff is expected to catch up over the coming weeks and months. The cert should be here soon.
So, yes, we plan to celebrate this evening. C will be home soon from work, and it's time to relax.
