Comments
No matter how one feels about gender dysphoria, this bill does not make sense. It specifically says that the request for a new birth certificate for a gender change "...shall not include any requirement for evidence or documentation of any medical procedure." Why not? Do you mean that anybody can get a new birth certificate...even if they havent actually changed from one gender to another?
