My daughter has just started her journey into transition. She wants to not be known as trans-female. She wants to just be female. She is autistic so this makes a lot of sense with her black and white thinking and challenges around social communication (I wouldn’t want to have to explain myself to people all of the time either).
It looks like we should be able to change her birth certificate and WA will not have a record that is was changed. From there – ID, social security, passport, etc. Our family with one exception know and completely support her. Because of her autism, she has no real social group to worry about.
Once all of that is done, is there some reason she should say trans-female? My only thoughts are that safety may be an issue until she is fully physically transitioned, but once she’s fully transitioned shouldn’t she be able to just be she?
I’m not sure I’m making any sense but I’m worried that she will face a situation where someone calls her a liar and she won’t be able to handle it or something worse results. Anyway, that’s a long time from now but I want to start preparing her as it will take awhile for her autistic brain to find a way to process this.
