This was definitely NOT the case the last time I went down this rabbit hole. There was no "X" option in ANY state, and the ONLY way to change M to F or vice-versa was to have gone through Gender Reassignment Surgery (then it was Sex Reassignment Surgery) and have a doctor's letter attesting to this fact.
I know we're falling into a fascist hell state, but holy shit… I wanna cry this is so amazing.
OMG. IT GETS BETTER!
My Birth Certificiate is from a state that allows you to just fill out a form and “If NOT using a court order, self-attest to change the sex listed on the birth
certificate, “To match the sex specified on my birth certificate to reflect my gender
identity, and not for any fraudulent purposes.” “
I can do ALLLLLLLLL the records!
alas, I know a pre-op trans person in MA and they DO require surgery to change their Birth Certificates, but - oddly - not their liceneses.
@masukomi Can confirm. Gave myself an F and my kid an X in the last year, because we could, and because post election it might not be possible. I mean getting passports is a pain, but changing your marker is trivially easy compared to the rest of it.
@bumpus I just need to renew my passport which is pretty easy apparently. So, 🎉
And yes, i went down this rabbit hole specifically because of November & the potential killing of all gender affirming things & the possible need to exit the country quickly. (uuugh)
