To provide documentation requested by government organizations in the course of changing legal sex, what exactly does a transsexual announce, document, or certify? Isn't something as fundamental as sex relatively easy to document? As it turns out, it's not as simple as one would think, not only because "sex" can be defined in different ways (chromosomes, hormones, secondary sex characteristics, genitals), but because I don't think the requesting agencies have thought through just what they want to know, and therefore are not consistent in the documentation they request.
