A community for transfeminine people and experiences.
This is a supportive community for all transfeminine or questioning people. Anyone is welcome to participate in this community but disrupting the safety of this space for trans feminine people is unacceptable and will result in moderator action.
Debate surrounding transgender rights or acceptance will result in an immediate ban.
Posters may express that they are looking for responses and support from groups with certain experiences (eg. trans people, trans people with supportive parents, trans parents.). Please respect those requests and be mindful that your experience may differ from others here.

Hey, born in WA, changed my name while living in Shasta county. I filed my name and gender change request with the county court and a few months later had a court order with the new name and gender. Then I used that court order to change my WA birth certificate.
Definitely agree with getting extra certified copies. The WA DOL will not return the copy you send them.
According to the info I found here changing your name first may be the way to go, which I believe you can do from any state.
May want to order a few extra certified copies of the name change order when you do.
