California's First District Court of Appeals ruled that people who need to change the gender listed on their birth certificate must be allowed to do so, regardless of where they currently live. 

The existing California law only allowed people to obtain a birth certificate with the proper gender if they lived in the same county of their birth, or if their current county of residence allowed them to request one.
