Unlike your daughter, I am a coward that lives a split life - my work is not aware of my GID and I want to keep it that way. Given that, can you just imagine my problems if I have to contact my manager:<br />"Uhh, they wont let me into the country. Sorry about all that money you spent on my flights."<br />Really? Why wont they let you in?"<br />"Well, you see, it's like this . . . "<br />Shortly after that, I would be unemployed, and my wife and children would be homeless and hungry. That is a chance that I just cant afford to take.<br /><br />Now, having said all of that, I DO know at least a dozen people that travel internationally with no problem what so ever, so perhaps I am being overly paranoid about it. <br /><br />Also, I think that in your daughters case, you have an option that I don't have - regardless of the name and gender on your daughters passport, SHE has the option of having the photograph match her appearance and THIS is what the immigration officials are really concerned with. They don't care that she might be a genetic male, they dont care that her legal name might be "Richard" - what they really care about is their ability to compare her passport to her actual appearance, and to prove to their satisfaction that it IS indeed her passport. If her passport has her photo taken as JD and not DJ, then I wouldn't hesitate to send her off on a trip to Europe. :)Kimberly Huddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668019327622021786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776343890232020343.post-68612815232926142692012-01-07T09:56:15.490-06:002012-01-07T09:56:15.490-06:00Just doing some mutual checking in with your blog....Just doing some mutual checking in with your blog. We were thinking of letting DJ go visit her aunt in England last summer but were frightened about the potential fallout when the folks checked out her passport noting the "gender" and how the "M" didn't match up with the young woman in front of them. Sure wish I'd known you then-I would have asked for some helpful hints.<br /><br />So-I read your comments about my blog and am hoping we can hook up in Manassas one day and mutually hug each other and go out for cocktails, or dinner. You're a grounded and refreshing "tall glass of water" as one of my recent patient's family coined the term the other day. BTW-you look FABULOUS in your pics-wish I had your attitude :)Parents in transitionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16508779387502709300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776343890232020343.post-51918696907008170142011-12-27T12:08:47.303-06:002011-12-27T12:08:47.303-06:00I am not far from Manassas.

You look great in all the shots. Being CD myself, I know how much work it is to go out pretty. To do it as often as it seems you do, and have as much fun with it as you do, I'm impressed. You do so much to bring the CD/TV comunity out in such a beautiful way. Keep up the great work, and I'll check out your adventures again soon.

(400,000 w/o power in nj and 700,000 in conn) and there are many downed wires in tangled in downed tree limbs. strange to get out the snow blower before getting out the leaf blower. <br />i heard there was one plane stuck on the runway for 8 hours and the restroom holding tanks were to full to use after awhile.... so be glad you weren't 2-1/2 half hours north east of hershey park. but if you had been in hershey just 3 weeks ago you could have attended the meca of the old car world the giant hershey car event!<br /><br />i must say you wear lavender very well.Diana Nicole Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319421620972867830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776343890232020343.post-72477516661093546212011-10-31T07:55:21.061-05:002011-10-31T07:55:21.061-05:00Well, judging by his mannerisms and speech, I'...Well, judging by his mannerisms and speech, I'd say it's a virtual certainty that he was a gay man.
