COLUMBUS, Ohio — The ability to change the gender marker on a birth certificate in Ohio depends on what county the resident lives in, allowing local judges to decide to approve or deny based on their reading of the law.
Birth certificate changes are necessary for a multitude of reasons, she said. It would help in getting other identity documents, eligibility for benefits or employment, clearing a background check, getting housing or any other major legal process. One of the more important reasons, in all of these cases, being outed as trans could cause violence.
News 5 found that judges across the state are not following a uniform policy. Cuyahoga County Probate Judge Laura Gallagher is issuing these changes and said the decisions all hinge on how a judge sees one verb: correct. The arguments against allowing for the marker change had to do with preventing fraud and keeping more accurate records, according to court documents. The judge addressed these claims and said the"proffered justifications are nothing more than thinly veiled post-hoc rationales to deflect from the discriminatory impact of the Policy.”
MAN OR WOMEN.......PERIOD!!!
Yay consistency.
I have many friends in the LGTBQ+ community & a significant number don’t see need to change the Birth Certificate. Personally, I believe if a person changes their birth record, then all licenses, contracts, & legal agreements based on it should be nullified & require replacement.
If over 18, fine. If not, pedophile
