Hey y'all, I was thinking about when I will be changing my gender markers, and I understand some people leave their birth certificate's (either by choice or not) gender unchanged while fixing their other forms of identification. I have a born abroad certificate because I was born in Germany while my dad was stationed there. It already sounds like it'd be a huge pain in the ass to change the gender because just getting a replacement copy makes military secretaries and administrative employees cringe. For those not in the know, the military is renowned for complex, needless bureaucracy and taking forever to do anything involving paperwork. So I was wondering if it would provide a problem or any sort of mix-ups if I just changed my gender markers on things like IDs and other stuff to say "male", but left the birth certificate to continue saying "female." Has anyone else done this? I'd like to read your experiences about it.
