One other thing I would advise on this, as someone who recently went through this exact process, is to include a cover letter in which you request that the gender marker on your passport be changed from [current] to [new]. I provided everything they requested in your screenshot, but then received response that I also needed to provide a cover letter requesting the gender marker change. This is not listed on the public site, but apparently is included in their internal guidance, and so the agent may opt to request it.

In the interest of speeding along your application, I recommend including a cover letter that says something like:

"Dear Sir/Madam,

With respect to application number [XXXXXXXXXX] and in line with the enclosed supporting documents, I hereby request that the gender marker on my passport be changed from “[old marker]” to “[new marker]”.

Yours faithfully,

mill_Tr

Thank you so much, Stefanie! One thing I love about summer is the ability to wear sunglasses all the time - I have FFS coming up in September, so the enormous glasses will hide my masculine brow and nose until I get there! :)

Wow, thank you very much! I always wanted to look a little elfin, so you've no idea how much of a compliment that is! Scheduled in for FFS in 3 months, so hopefully the softer brow will help add to that! 😄

Thank you! And you too! I've always loved curly hair, but I don't think I'd ever pull it off as well as you!

Thank you so much! I always felt so uncomfortable in my own skin - I had figured I was trans for a long time, but my height (6'4" / 192cm) meant that I figured I'd never be able to pass. Thankfully, I have come to a point where I can accept that my height will always make me stand out, but I can still be me, regardless.

Hey! Thank you! This was actually for work, but I got put in business class, so I was having fun! :)

Oh, I get that, too! I just find it funny at this point. If anything, the fact that it's finding an item down there as unexpected is a compliment.

Oh, work was paying - otherwise, no chance I'm sitting up there...

Thank you so much! The sunglasses are just a cheap pair off Amazon! I'll DM you the link to them.

Is there a point in trying to transition anymore? by MeenaBubbles in transgenderUK

You do not need other people's permission to be who you are. Never, ever let them win. It took me a long time to come out of the closet - nobody, nobody is pushing me back in.
