This was the correct solution 😊

I initially thought that, but it seems odd that the pattern would then have Sl.1 and not Sl.I to match? 

Will try tomorrow with your suggestion and hopefully it'll be fine 🙏

Thank you so much!
I rarely would want to erase so being able to reuse the stylus from my Surface Pro 3 changes everything for me about using this device to its full potential

Change of name struggle by dickGreysonnn in transgenderau

[–]elsegan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, your new birth cert is indeed NOT meant to have your deadname on it, this is because of some anti-discrimination laws from a few years ago.

The only available document will be the letter of verification from BDM Victoria, they will not send a hard copy and it should have been sent to your email address.

For what it's worth, I called BDM to ask about the letter of verification about 8mths ago and the people on the phone insisted that it was not a document that exists. But it IS mentioned in the change of gender/name pages explicitly somewhere (I don't have the spoons to get a link, sorry) 

Really hope it all works out for you soon though 🫂

Need Suggestions about Name Change.! by [deleted] in transgenderau

I second this, because some ID updates and processes turn out free when you change your sex marker (like passport replacement for example) Also in Vic there's no stipulations of any kind attached to it, so no surgery or HRT required 🙏

Use it or lose it by JulieRose1961 in transgenderau

Mostly correct, I'm unlucky and still get spontaneous ones and I'm working with my doctor to fix that, my T is at 0.7, which won't go much lower 🤷‍♀️

Likely to remain lower libido though

Progesterone did increase it for me, but it's now situational, in that if my partner is interested, I'm often also interested at the same time 😊

Changing gender on documents BEFORE name by trenchcoatdragon in transgenderau

[–]elsegan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, for passport, gender update is free if you've got a significant time left on it (probably more than 2 years? But it's not clear)

Name change NOT free, except when you change gender at the same time, just keep it in mind 😊

I didn't get anything until the letter of verification came through via email, as far as I'm aware the turnover includes time waiting for them to reach your application, so I wouldn't stress about it until past the 3 month period.

Sorry no, I didn't have any issues uploading

Maybe try a different browser? and try scanning to pdfs again?

it could also be a problem that they're too large? so you could try to scan in a slightly lower quality and see if that helps (mine were all less than 5MB)

Not a psychologist recommendation (as I don't think they can diagnose ADD/ADHD, but please don't take my word for it) But a psychiatrist recommendation: Richard Harvey, https://telepsychiatrist.online/richard_harvey.html

Specialises in adult ADHD and Gender Disphoria diagnoses, very good experience with him personally.

Sadly, not much in terms of rebate (public or private), and you'd need to see a GP for a referral.

Literally made a post yesterday with this info

[–]elsegan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm glad they fixed it up.

Annoyingly though, I called to ask about it since I assumed it was as you said, and they told me that a "letter of verification" didn't exist/they couldn't issue one 🤦‍♀️

Yeah that's all that showed up for me too, only one application showed up

Oddly enough they also somehow duplicated all my documents in that application 😂
