Transgender wins right to change birth certificate just because
Anyone wanna bet that in the future a person will have 20 or 30 years to decide what sex they want indicated on their birth certificate? A person is either born with or without a Johnson. Who are the science deniers now?
Idiots.
Quote:In a groundbreaking ruling, the Canadian province of Alberta ruled that requiring gender reassignment surgery before amending the sex listed on a birth certificate violates the rights of transgender citizens. This echoes an April statement made by Premier David Hancock, who said the surgery requirement will be dropped, according to the Canadian Press.
The decision followed a human rights complaint filed by Wren Kauffman, a 12-year-old transgender boy. Though listed as “female” at birth, Kaufmann, who identifies as male, said this was “stressful.”
"If you’re not yourself, then it kind of gets sad and depressing," Kauffman told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation last year. "I’m glad that I told everybody."
Earlier this year, Kauffman and his parents filed a complaint with the Alberta Human Rights Commission after encountering a law that required gender-affirming surgery prior to amending one’s birth certificate. This requirement, common throughout Canadian provinces, effectively barred those under the age of 18 from changing their birth certificates, in addition to all transgender citizens who do not desire such surgeries.
On Sunday, Edmonton’s mayor hosted a Pride event where Alberta’s cultural minister Heather Klimchuk presented Kauffman with his new birth certificate, now marked with an “M.”
Some have heralded the news as a step that could catalyze further change across Canada. “Hopefully, Wren’s victory will help pave the way” for citizens in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, who have filed similar human rights violation complaints that are currently awaiting deposition, wrote Jean Ann Esselink at The New Civil Rights Movement.
Ontario is currently the only Canadian province that allows transgender citizens to change the gender listed on their birth certificates by providing a note from a doctor or psychologist attesting to a patient’s affirmed gender identity.

A birth certificate is also a medical record no?

If gender is just a preference, then there is no oppressive patriarchy.

I realize that in some cases there are genetic mutations and people are born different, (I've seen a girl with extra legs and arms) and in those cases where the person has both sexual organs it's only right for that person to choose where he wants to go.
But, not the perverts that are just sickos.

If a man wants to be a woman or a woman wants to be a man, that's their issue.
I couldn't care less.

RE: Transgender wins right to change birth certificate just because
It still doesn't take away the fact that they are sick people. Trouble is they want everyone to share their sickness.
Fit, you make it seem that I would go around telling or making faces at them. Far from it, it's their choice just like it was my choice to sin in my younger days. Yes, I was pretty bad but unlike some I chose to repent and now I try my best not to sin. Sometimes it's hard not to though, too much experience from my former life.

I think it's great that you try not to sin. I do as well. But just because we do that doesn't mean that we should be judging others and saying they are sick.
It's their issue. Let them deal with it and the consequences when they meet the man upstairs.

Which man upstairs? Are you referring to the Lord? Is it hard for you to call him Lord? I think he'd like God too. Man upstairs, I don't know, it's a little too nonchalant, or ir-respectful.

Better yet, can she change her birth certificate to say "born in the USA" instead of Mexico? I mean, if it's all about what she feels...

Some people may want to change their birth certificate to say they were born in Hawaii.

If you can be born in Hawaii, you can be born anywhere.
