If you want to legally change your name and gender, the first step you have to take is getting a court order. Court filing fees for a court order cost $435 in the state of California. You can apply for a fee waiver, which will waive the cost of the filing fees. Torrance Courthouse is where I filed my forms.

This is where you can find the forms you need to submit to the courthouse. If you are confused about them, Bet Tzedek is a legal firm that can help you fill them out. You can also contact me and I can help you fill them out, although I cannot guarantee that I can do them accurately because I am not a qualified legal advisor.
