Before I reacted to California Bill AB 433 which according to Autumn Sandeen made surgery unnecessary I decided to contact California Assembly woman Lauren Robinson and Danny Kirchoff in the Transgender Law Center in San Francisco. I appreciate how quickly they returned my emails in such a rapid manner. I do admit I implied I needed to or wanted to change my birth certificate and identified as a MTF transsexual in order to elicit a response. I did not feel that an antagonistic query was warranted. I just wanted the truth.

Some, undoubtedly will test this law change. As the author of the article says, a letter from a physician will be required. So it is up to the physician as to the wording of their affidavit on what qualifies to them as a change of sex.
If someone wishes to change their BC while still having a penis... well, it is what it is. A penis. That's just speaking plainly. We're all (okay mostly) adults here.

Well, I for one am certainly glad (not!) we have Elizabeth's approval of this law!
