I could use some help. I was born in Louisiana and can't make sense of the requirements for correcting your birth certificate there. I live in Australia, so going to talk to a Louisiana lawyer is not possible right now. What surgery constitutes "anatomical correction of sex"? Do I need to get an official diagnosis from a psychiatrist, too? Please, I am stressing too much over this :(

If you get a surgeon with a medical degree to say the requirements have been met, they aren't likely to look into what exactly that entails. A lot of people for social security just keep the surgeon's statement vague. Idk about Louisiana particularly though.
Thanks, Felix. It would really throw a huge cog in the works if I couldn't get it changed without bottom surgery :(
