Just returned from obtaining my new driver license that has gender as Female with my new name then went to my bank, changed my debt card over to Karen Payne.

Do I feel different, no but happy it's done Do I feel one step closer, heck yes. The two people at DMV were so nice too me

Ended up not able to sleep very well last night and had a bad dream that from start to finish of the name change process I had spelled my last name wrong. Woke up and had to check my license to confirm I did not make the mistake.

Update, just ordered return labels and business cards with my new name
