So this is what I paid for. I opened the envelope from the Ohio Department of Vital Statistics unveiling my new identity, a fresh birth certificate bearing my new name, Eunice Tiptree, followed by my same old (I won't say how old) birth date, followed by the letter "M." Eunice Tiptree, male.

I have a vagina, but the state of Ohio is stating that I am a male. The state of Ohio is saying the two-year odyssey that I endured from male to female did not occur, the sexual reassignment surgery costing me $20,000 had not changed my body.
