Hi friends, welcome BACK to T Time!! In this episode of T Time, we loop you all in on some fun life updates, one of which includes Beau's legal name change! Getting your name changed can seem difficult, daunting, and a bit intimidating, especially if you're unfamiliar with the process; this episode aims to break it down just a little bit and share our experience here in Ohio with the goal of helping anyone who's curious about how it works. We briefly cover the steps of the name-change process, as well as getting your driver's license and social security card updated, providing you all with a few helpful tips through the sharing of our own experience. Then of course, in the name of the pod, we spill the latest ~T~ with the goal of raising a bit of awareness regarding issues of over-sexualizing and dehumanizing trans bodies.
