Laura Amalasunta on Nostr: 8 months waiting time for the court hearing for my name and gender change 1 month ...
8 months waiting time for the court hearing for my name and gender change
1 month after that to wait for the sentence
2 months for the sentence to become definitive
Another 2 months and counting waiting for the local government office that is responsible for my documents to actually update them like the court has ordered them
And all this time I, a woman, with a woman's life, a vagina, who has been recognised as a woman instantly everywhere I go for years now still has a male passport with a picture that looks nothing like me, a name that doesn't match any of my other documentation and which I have to explain whenever I use it...
Explain to me again how this is better than a simple system of self-declaration?
Aaaarrrghh
