Unless there's something I've forgotten or don't know about yet, here is the total bill for me to achieve full legal status as a female :
Application for gender recognition : £30.00 (would have been more but I got a doctor's report free and got my stat dec signed for free by a kindly barrister)
Petition for divorce and decree nisi : £340.00 (OUCH!)
Get Decree Absolut : £45.00 (also full gender recognition cert issued at the same time)
Civil Partnership notification fee : £67.00 (even though we are exempt from
giving notice - we still have to pay the fee. Go figure.)
Civil Partnership : £40.00
Civil Partnership Certificate : £3.50
TOTAL : £525.50 !!!
All so I can get legal recognition as something I already am... a girlie !!
Mind you, some people spend that on a handbag. Spending this money now means that I will be legally female for the rest of my life - and will even have been born a female on the 31st August 1974, seeing as my birth certificate will be changed.
So you might almost call it a bargain.
Er... almost.
