Illinois changed their policy a few years ago to accept documents proofing surgery from outside the U.S, which I agree with, and feel was the right thing to do. However a stand taken by anyone feeling surgery shouldn’t be required for birth certificate changes is one I most sincerely disagree with. I see this as transgender Inc pushing their deconstructionist meme down the throat of society and trying to make a third gender common place in society. I feel surgery as well as a diagnosis is mandatory. I feel Illinois policy is more then fair and equably.<br /><br />I live in Virginia and it's a most backwards and bigoted state, but even their policy for changing birth certificates is progressive. They destroyed my old one and issued a completely new one.sweetbrandigirl2004https://www.blogger.com/profile/02677775753686708537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667585281200430600.post-44474585278945689792011-05-21T11:40:16.174-07:002011-05-21T11:40:16.174-07:00Connecticut is another state that issues a new bir...Connecticut is another state that issues a new birth certificate and seals the old one. They make the change sound easy, at first, but the ream of documents that they wanted amounted to a packet about 3/4" thick. Whether the process is kludgy or not is another subject. You need to get documents from multiple sources, and the process is two step. You change your name first. When that is filed in the state records, you THEN change your gender. It's more of a hassle than a kludge. What the heck -- and in the process, you make friends at the post office.Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05063865894389331058noreply@blogger.com
