Switching Genders a Cinch under New Government Rules
Last week, the State Department introduced a new policy that makes it easier for transsexuals and transgendered people to change their designated sex on passports.
Under the old policy, applicants could only be issued updated passports if they had gone under the knife. The new policy removes that prerequisite. Now, an individual needs nothing more than a doctor's certificate verifying that he or she is transgendered—no sex-change surgery required.
