Federal Court Grants Big Win For Transgender People To Change Birth Certificates

This is big for those of us born in ID, TN (like me), OH and KS. Not sure how this is going to pan out for other states, especially TN, but it's some good news and a step in the right direction. The court also states that birth certificates should not be amended to out a person, but have the new information totally replaced.
