The Post Gazette carried an awesome story about the Name Change Project, an effort that helps trans individuals moving through their transition with doing all the proper paperwork for a name change.

Luckily, she heard about The Name Change Project, which expanded to Pittsburgh a year ago and connects transgender people with volunteer attorneys. After she and her wife settled on a new name, her attorney Krista Baron, navigated the legal hurdles, including a waiver of the publication requirement.

The project helps individuals who live in 11 different geographic locations including Pittsburgh. For more information, check out the web site.
