Being trans really does give an unfair advantage in chess somehow... and so does wearing jeans.

I'm sure a trans woman wearing jeans would be so powerful at chess FiDE would have to invent a title above grandmaster.

I kind of wonder what the worst possible flower to have as a name. I would say begonia. Very pretty flower, not so pretty of a word.

humor is subjective

im trans and thought it was funny.

its the risk of online sarcasm, it can easily be missed and taken at face value which makes it even funnier.

blahaj.zone has very strict enforcement of noninclusive language and statements. as much as I personally appreciate this brand of humor, its probably unwise to post similar comments on this instance

I love the enunciation. There's an elegance and poise to the consonants that I wish I could do myself.

It does however sound inauthentic, mostly in the tone and pitch. The tone is thin, and the pitch range is really compressed. You seem to be speaking as high as possible constantly, so you have no room to raise and lower your pitch during phrases.

Women's voices are way lower than many people realize. Your recording is pretty illustrative of why most literature on voice training stress the importance of resonance over pitch.

The first link and text of the post is about getting a copy of the birth certificate.

The second link is about amendments and seems accurate as far as I can tell.

Regardless you will probably want to order certified copies at the same time.

The US did issue passports with an x gender marker. The first one was issued in 2021 after a lawsuit, and the option was on the official paperwork in 2022. Most would usually advise against doing so as many countries do not recognize the X gender, and would deny entry as a result. Be aware of where you want to travel and that those countries are accepting before you commit to the X marker.

That was before the newest administration. It remains to be seen how things will play out in future as many executive orders will be blocked in the courts. Executive orders are the lowest tier federal legislation, overruled by nearly everything else.

A friend of mine became a notary, and I signed some form declaring their trustworthiness. Apparently its a good business. Anyone buying a house needs a notary and will pay for the service especially if you do house calls.

A notary is a licensed professional ID checker. They certify that you are who you say you are. They are required for many important documents.

The notary allows you to self select your gender marker without any other proof, and without having to appear in person to make the change.

Not requiring other materials is a good thing.
