If you perhaps looked like a female version of your old male self,
could you not pretend to be yourself, post transition? Then you
could apply to have your gender changed on your birth cert and get
your identity updated.

That might end up being a problem if you ever end up in a situation
where you're fingerprinted or have your DNA tested. You could find
yourself prosecuted for impersonating yourself.

The easiest thing to do would be to play stupid and cry amnesia.

Yes, Bud. Amnesia is what I always thought. Just walk into a police
station and say "I don't know who I am." I'm sure our society would
find a way to re-integrate someone who did that.

A man in the UK tried exactly that with the walking into a police
station and saying that.
He went to jail.

What's the charge? Do they suspect him of something and are
"holding him" pending investigation, or is there an actual crime?
|
From: Air Gear

Something to do with faking his own death and insurance payouts due
to , if I remember correctly.
The point generally is that amnesia doesn't really work that way
for the best part and authorities are suspicious precisely for that
matter which such claims and hence tend to comprehensively
investigate.

Which was why in the above case, they were very quickly able to
catch this guy out.
On the other hand, not that it can't (possibly) happen, though but
you really have to have a very solid presentation and a lack of a
pile of evidence saying otherwise that people can dig up.

However, even this case has its sceptics and even if genuine, I
don't think there's ever been anything quite like it, so it seems
to fall under the heading of quite unique.

The character could appear in an alternate dimension where he was
born a woman; everyone else remembers him as having always been a
woman and his ID match.

But that doesn't really count, though does it? The whole situation
and the solution is dependent how you try to solve the predicament
of everything not
seamlessly adjusting itself so no-one around will ever know
anything had changed.

No, the character
can't "wish" himself into a new dimension. The "author" can, but
we were talking about new identities IRL.
|
From: Air Gear
, 78 months, post #32 |
I guess if you move fast enough as well as are able to set up a
convincing new identity, you could sign over at least some money to
yourself because presumably your handwriting hasn't changed.
It's the establishing a new identity that's convincing which could
be the very hard part, though.

Researching elements of your story can always add to the depth and
realism, but stories also take leaps of faith and there are almost
always things that wouldn't really happen that way in real life.
Any story that uses Magic, Supernatural transformation (like from
God,) or science fiction to totally transform someone isn't
"realistic." I have researched how they are trying to manipulate
genes, but it would still be technically unrealistic to write a
transformation story based on that. That genome altering science is
called CRISPR, btw. The point being that whatever device you use to
transform the character you can create a similar device to alter
their papers.
If God or a mystic did it by magic, that entity should be able to
give him papers. If a scientist can change your genes and re-grow
you, could he not have a way to give the person papers. Maybe he is
smart enough to hack the Federal system or something to give him a
record.
Some authors when using magic or spells, have reality quickly or
slowly alter around that character, which would take care of any
birth records. Bribing someone at the drivers license office or
threatening them with magic or something could do it to.
It's always great to research elements of your story, but in the
end there are a tons of ways in a story to get ID papers.

How about a swarm of nanites?

Is this question being asked from a writer perspective, i.e. "how
would I write a story about transformation & deal with the issue of
the lack of ID realistically" or is this question asked for the
posters to imagine themselves in a hypothetical situation where
they were suddenly transformed & have no documents to be fully
functional in modern world?
|
From: Air Gear
, 78 months, post #36 |
Let's just go with a story in a realistic setting, as in the only
thing supernatural so to speak is the swap/transformation but
absolutely everything else related to this is fully grounded in
reality.

Shouldn't worry about the new I.D. issue. In the U.S. the IRS is
going to want to make money off you so you can pretty much bet the
government will want to ensure you have a valid social security
number at the very least. You could claim to be an illegal
immigrant to get that started perhaps. From there maybe a student
ID card and so on. Yeah it's going to be a pain but you could do
it. Last thing you would want to do is fake amnesia to the
authorities... because first of all... who with amnesia would
willingly walk into a police station and announce that? Better off
walking into a hospital emergency room.

"Better off walking into a hospital emergency room."
Not really because the kind of amnesia where you don't remember
anything prior to getting there isn't really a thing and
neurologists know that.

Also, with ICE lurking about, I think the illegal immigrant route
isn't really the best approach at this time.

Let's just say... Claiming to be illegal immigrant in Trumperica...
is not the smartest thing to do...
