The name "#India" was already used by the Ancient Greeks more than 2000 years ago, though some in the region associate it more now with the #UK's colonial subjugation of the country in the 1700s-1900s.

#India made waves at the #G20 summit it hosted this weekend by using "#Bharat" instead of "India" as its country name in some English-language contexts. https://www.reuters.com/world/india/modi-uses-bharat-g20-nameplate-not-india-amid-name-change-row-2023-09-09/
"Bharat" is already India's name in most local languages, including Hindi, and is mentioned as a synonym of "India" in the English version of the country's constitution, but hasn't been used in formal international contexts until now.

A separate package of reforms also approved by lawmakers on Thursday strengthened transgender rights, including allowing any citizen over 16 years old to change their legally registered gender without medical supervision.
Minors between 12-13 years old will need a judge’s authorization to change, while those between 14 and 16 must be accompanied by their parents or legal guardians.
Previously, transgender people needed a diagnosis by several doctors of gender dysphoria. The second law also bans so-called “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ people and provides state support for lesbians and single women seeking IVF treatment.

Name change update.
First step taken: paperwork filed at the SF first judicial court.
Next, I wait by the phone for them to call, in order to then proceed to the two weeks of newspaper legal advertisement.🗞️

So this is the process to change your name in #Colorado.
I already fucked it up once by trying to do it myself so im having a lawyer handle it for $2,600 plus fees.
This is what its like to be #transgender in america. Absurd legal battles even in Blue States™ just to make the minor changes we need to be safe and healthy. #trans #NameChange

Because I am the way I am, I’ve printed all of the paperwork for my new government records, and I’ve realized I can’t yet sign the documents because I don’t haven’t practiced my new signature.
(Two things: Super glad I’ve never had stationary, etc. printed. Also, pretty cool I can accurately pen “writer” as my occupation for my new passport. Little Théo would be proud af. Present day Théo is also stoked.)
