Rep. Borders courts needless controversy with birth certificate bill

A bill proposed today in the Indiana House would directly affect transgender persons born in Indiana.

This morning Rep. Bruce Borders filed House Bill 1361, which would prohibit any change on a birth certificate and the permanent birth record of the gender of an individual. (The bill makes exception for typographical  or clerical errors. The bill also allows for a change if a DNA test — the presence or absence of a Y chromosome — determines a different result from the  recorded gender.)

"Rep. Cindy Kirchhofer, R-Beech Grove, chair of the House Public Health Committee, said in a statement Friday that she will not give the bill a hearing. She said she was focused instead on addressing the state's opioid and heroin epidemic."

I saw that a few minutes ago.  Thank goodness for some common sense.
