Yes, this did mean changing my name on those. However it was quite an easy process of filling in forms on the Board websites and they changed all of my certificates for free :)

Hey Frankie! I'm so sorry, a year ago I was clueless to the fact that people left comments on my videos and I feel so ashamed for that fact as I've missed out on so many opportunities to help people like this. I don't know if things have advanced since you left this comment but just in case it hasn't then I'd have preferred to have had top surgery because of testosterone because I felt like it was always my chest that was the giveaway to people as to whether I was actually male or female pre-hormones. Cost was also a massive factor as its difficult to get top surgery done on the NHS before hormones as they prefer you to be on hormones to "prove" that this is what you truly want, and privately costs an arm and a leg. I also wanted to get on testosterone ASAP as I felt I needed the physiological changes such as my voice, hair growth etc as I was due to be starting university and wanted to start afresh as a male with no questions asked. Dr Lorimer only asked what my plans were for my transition but there wasn't really a sit down and talk about what order I wanted to do things in as the "normal" way of doing it is hormones, top surgery, lower surgery...not many people tend to play with this structure. I really hope you've gotten somewhere with your transition by now and found this information earlier, but if not then I hope this helps now! Sorry again! Alex
