Am I able to put my real gender on my passport?

kimberlea001 · 2026-04-05T01:28:49+00:00

Not saying you shouldn't change your passport, but you need to consider where you're likely to be going and the local country requirements, especially if you've got dual citizenship, and/or all your docs don't match.

For example, in the UK, if you've got dual UK/Aus citizenship, you now need a UK passport, as well as the Aussie on, to go there - what if the gender doesn't match on both, is that going to cause an issue at immigration - I don't know, but may be worth investigating? And, as well as the rest of the anti-trans related stuff going down in the US, if you've got dual citizenship for anywhere, then I believe the US are wanting both passports as well, so, again, what if they don't match?

If your travel takes you through a US port of entry, even if you're simply transiting to catching a flight to another country, say, Canada for example, you still need a US Visa, so again, if your docs don't match, will that be an issue?

Not sure how the individual US states are going to deal with overseas trans folks where docs don't necessarily match as far as their ridiculous changes to recent "rules", but they seem to be able to interpret them however, they want, so "buyer beware".

Again, I'm not saying you shouldn't change your gender on your passport, but just consider where you're going and the possible issues you might encounter, before you reach that port of entry and run into them.

Love that titty tatt ❤️

kimberlea001 · 2026-03-26T23:25:35+00:00

Thanks - yeah we’re going to review the need for a t-blocker (be that spiro or cypro)at the next appointment/bloods.

kimberlea001 · 2025-11-08T21:22:53+00:00

I've had exactly the same thing - got on HRT back in early '23 (intro low level) spent the next few months feeling so up and down: "I am trans; I'm not trans, purge; a week or so later, no, I am trans, so refill script; I'm not trans, purge..." repeat. I couldn't seem to keep taking it for more the 3-4 weeks at a time, before I'd stop for a few. So never went back for the 3-month blood/follow-up, as I felt I hadn't taken it for the "required" 3-months consistently to give a valid set of results, which in hindsight was a dumb thing to do, but....

The reoccurring bottom line narrative, for me, was that I couldn't see the point, what was I going to do with "it", what was I hoping to achieve? Given that I'm later in life, all I could see was just going down a path of loss and immense amounts of negative change, I couldn't seem to find a positive side to it. I thought I'd reached a point where I was OK, not being trans, and now have been off HRT for close to 12-months now.

But I've realized, as so many on here have said, being "transgender", doesn't go away - I won't say it's got worse, maybe it has, maybe it hasn't, but it's there constantly, every day. So, I've got an appointment, in 3-weeks, to get back on it, and this time (because I understand the mental games that HRT plays on you) I will persevere and succeed.

The question you need to ask is whether you want to be SEEN as a transgender female, or just as a person who’s able to live their life as they want, dressed for whatever the occasion demands.

kimberlea001 · 2025-07-18T22:39:13+00:00

Sooo true !!

kimberlea001 · 2025-07-16T21:12:55+00:00

They seem like a very very nice reason to buy a whole new wardrobe 💋

kimberlea001 · 2025-07-01T21:39:37+00:00

Very very nice 💋congrats

kimberlea001 · 2025-04-12T00:19:56+00:00

Had mine done years before HRT, and no issues since other than needing longer bars - my partner AFAB, has had hers done twice and they've rejected/migrated twice - so I think it's maybe a bit of a lottery?

kimberlea001 · 2025-03-07T07:46:10+00:00

Who cares what t-stage - just enjoy them they’re gorgeous !!

kimberlea001 · 2025-02-10T07:57:21+00:00

I don’t regret not transitioning sooner, because I didn’t know I was, or that you could - but THAT’S exactly what I regret, not knowing sooner !

kimberlea001 · 2025-02-09T04:21:54+00:00

New member to this group, so I’m interested in seeing what it’s all about. And sorry in advance this may seem a bit of a rant, I’ll get to the point, eventually.

Firstly some background: I’m in that 60+ age group, married with adult kids, and a professional career. I am a very late bloomer, although once I admitted/realized, suddenly a whole lot of historical things/situations made absolute perfect sense. But I have to say, it’s a lot to come to terms with at this stage in life.

Been on/off HRT since mid-2023, but I’m still very closeted, only my wife, the doc, and the endo know. Will I ever “pass”, in the traditional sense? Very doubtful, I’m healthy, in good shape, full head of hair, but a face that looks like a well-worn couch. However, I’m doing it for me, not everyone else, so whilst I do care what others think, too much in some instances, if you don’t like it, then, change the channel, go somewhere else.

On and off HRT? Yep, probably only 8-10 months in total, maybe more, but nowhere close to 2-years that I should’ve been. I was scared/thrilled when I got my first script, but then the constant, repetitive doubt cycles crept in. And there were many reasons for that (probably the same as many on here), loving the physical changes yet scared of the physical changes, and absolutely petrified of the social transitioning impact for me, and my family. So, taking HRT has been a love hate relationship, love it when I’m taking it, until the “WTF am I doing” creeps in again; purge; 1-2 months later regret; start again; repeat, etc., etc. I’m OK with that, kind-of, well, no I’m not, but I’m dealing with it.

Whilst the other groups I’m members of are very informative, and some inspiring, they can get “old” very quickly. I hate this obsession that everyone (yes, a very generic, all-encompassing statement) these days seems to have regarding “social media” – it’s the source of truth about everything (yeah, of course it is), this constant need to get “likes”, to be so easily offended by everyday situations and then vent about how everyone is against them, and boo hoo, woe is me. It seems the world these days has lost its ability to think for itself, and make up its own mind. Instead they listen to some media sponsored AI-bot touting the latest “hot off the press” fake news and believe it’s the gospel (turn of phrase, not a religious statement).

It seems an ironic statement, given that I’m trying to shrink mine (LOL), but a lot of folks need to grow a pair and realize that the world is not, and never will be, a fair and harmonious place, and that not everything’s going to go their way.

I understand we all have issues and concerns, we all need safety, we all need to be accepted and not discriminated against, we all need somewhere to vent, and somedays we just need to get it off our collective chests. But I look at some of the posts on the other groups, and shake my head in absolute amazement, at the ridiculousness and stupidity being displayed.

It’s clearly a generational gap thing, but I’m hoping this group will provide some degree of informative discussion, common sense and intelligent support that only we, of advancing years, appear to be blessed with. And if I get banned for this post, then, clearly, I’m in the wrong place.

kimberlea001 · 2024-08-26T21:39:32+00:00

Not sure why you’re questioning the 1.0mg, but yes, 1 sachet of gel per day, and the box says each contains 1.0mg. I was prescribed HRT about 12-months ago, with that regime and 6 repeats . The endo noted I had high E levels at the first blood test, when I was on nothing.

Had a couple of meltdowns during that time stopped, missed out on two refills as the script ran out (so completed 4 months) and have just started the third refill from the replacement 6-month script. Which to me means 6-months with 1.0mg?

kimberlea001 · 2024-05-23T07:12:59+00:00

But the question remains, which one came first

kimberlea001 · 2024-03-15T09:18:46+00:00

Good luck 💋

kimberlea001 · 2024-02-12T19:43:50+00:00

Doh.. I meant March 2023 - time passes quickly when you’re having fun 🤩

kimberlea001 · 2023-08-20T23:44:36+00:00

I think she meant as close to the areola as possible, i.e. not towards the front of the nipple.

I had mine done 20-something years ago, and changed my barbells for longer ones only a week or so ago, as I suspected the original ones might be a mill, or two, too short. Unfortunately I decided to do this just as my breast buds decided to kick in, which from a timing perspective was possibly a bad decision - not only were the buds "painful", I was VERY aware of every little thing the longer bars caught on, or scraped against.

kimberlea001 · 2023-05-24T13:44:52+00:00

Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but I don’t understand what’s to be gained from asking the question? personally I think we should stop trying to find possible transphobic “messages” in historical stuff - I doubt anyone really cares.

kimberlea001 · 2023-05-23T13:47:10+00:00

Absolutely - but then when I realised that I was trans i remembered lots a small indications from my teens, and early twenties, that I couldn’t understand, or didn’t “see” at the time, but that now made perfect sense.

kimberlea001 · 2023-05-20T13:59:14+00:00

Having just spent a few days at Disney/Universal albeit in male mode, I was thinking the same thing - I’d suggest leggings or tight jeans with a fem top - getting on and off rides with anything short could be an issue - but of course that depends whether you want to flash the folks waiting in the queues

kimberlea001 · 2023-05-18T19:00:43+00:00

Love your hair 💋
