A federal judge has struck down Ohio's policy prohibiting transgender residents from correcting the gender marker on their birth certificate, clearing the way for individuals to alter the document to reflect their gender identity

Washington A federal judge on Wednesday struck down Ohio's policy prohibiting transgender residents from correcting the gender marker on their birth certificate, clearing the way for individuals to alter the document to reflect their gender identity.

Judge Michael Watson wrote in his decision that prior to 2016, the state had allowed such changes to be made, but that the new policy, which was instituted by the state's Department of Health in consultation with then-Republican Gov. John Kasich's office, violates the Constitution."This policy resembles the sort of discrimination-based legislation struck down under the equal protection clause in Romer v.

Ok so you no longer know whos a male or a female why should it not say changed sex on the paper since theyre so proud of it if theyre so proud of it why shouldnt it declare in bold letter change sex

Great! Can I change my parents gender too since I am a product of them? Might put my dad as a Agender:Void, mom as Androgyne:Demiboy. Complete Lunacy.... “Follow the science” as you folks like to say... Did any of you ever study science? Or just SWJ stuff? 2=Two=Dos=Deux

They did to the INDIANS

I totally understand this and can be 100% compassionate as well. Sexual orientation is determined at 3-4 months at development in the womb and at the time that developmental stage don't equal the physical development. And it has to be corrected.

Thank god. This is so cool

Great! Now I want my gender marker changed to 'your highness' because if they're allowed to play in fantasy land I want to be included as well.

Did you all sale your company yet?

And when they've decided differently the next time......!Keep the oriental copy!

How stupid I guess it says it all stupid

Isn’t it illegal to alter a government document ?

With everything else going on in the country and world, this is very high on my “Who gives a s$$t?” list. Can we focuson things that matter? Like COVID, poverty, racial injustice?

Regardless, one cannot escape the fact that females are living works of art designed over millions of years by evolution.

Can I change mine to autobot if not that’s tranformophobic

What happens to heterosexual rights meaning (Straight)? Oh I'm not homophobic this the card they use when someone speaks out 'Read the Frist Amendment '

MrsWailand Why are Republicans and other Conservatives so obsessed with toilets? 😳

There’s a man and there’s a woman! That’s IT

So, males can start dominating female sports officially.

Such nonsensical BS.

I’m pretty sure all of us who are reading and especially those tweeting about this have more consequential things in our lives, at least I hope so?

How insane must our judges get before they are declared mentally incompetent to perform their duties?

Why would they want to change their gender on their birth certificate?

Its fine to change your current gender but why change the gender you were born with? Thats like changing your name on your birth certificate after changing your name just stupid

So now the birth certificate doesn’t record your sex, it’s how you “feel”. 😂 The insane are running the asylum.

What's a gender marker?

What about when they need medical treatment or are diagnosed improperly based on thier gender identity rather than biology, or do they disclose thier true gender to a physician. So much for believe the science of biology

SicilianaReaI Good.

Madness. I won't support mental illness.

Can I change my race too?

204 comments on this thread and only about 5 people read the article to see that every other state but TN already allows this. It's not a radical idea.

What a shit show if I there was a trans going to the same restroom as my daughter in sorry but I would not let it slide I'll end up in jale and that has nothing to do with gender and more to do with keeping my kids safe!!!

Ahh, but science doesn't matter to the freaky

We are a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah

Follow the science , make or female science

Which effectively makes their birth certificate useless. Good call!

So pathetic.

Too bad there are only 2 genders and yoi cant change your chromosomes

Ok

'alter'?🤔 More like update

Whatever. You’re born male or female, It’s history, can’t change history.

I say, remove that field itself. people can behave and misbehaving's can be dealt by law enforcement -- ya by non-racist personals

Fraud

Those so-called transgender residents are just going through a confusing phase in their lives. The federal judge must've been a liberal judge. If you were born a male, you stay a male. And the same goes for females. As far as most of us are concerned, there are only two genders.

On Ohio Wow. That’s surprising but... 👍🏼

You people are sick to want to change your gender! Sick in the mind I swear! Weirdos!

That would be the biological sex marker. Sad that people want to rewrite their actual life history.

Clowns

Kudos Ohio!

Jesus, even MO allows you to change your gender. God damn Ohio.

Nonsence

land of the free, home of the freaks

i say everyone does it, inb the end, trannies will cry high heaven. hey i dont think any of us should be identified anymore. isnt this wat the world needs? things instead of pple? who needs to breed let the planet die

clearing the way for more freaks

Absolutely ridiculous

This is so wonderful that individuals will be able to get gender markers changed on their birth certificates in Ohio 💙 Also when the US has better control of COVID, these same people can have passports made that share the same information as their drivers licenses 😊

These freaks dont deserve to change what they were born, I hope the judge gets voted out.

Fuck me. Our whole system has become one big fucking joke.

Federal judges the most powerful folks in the country....

Truly insane...WOW

A man who changes his birth certificate to “female” is still a man.

Conservative heads!

Thank you!!!!

Please it is 2020 not 1950!! Why are people so afraid when a person want to be what he wants to be. I am so glad to live in the Netherlands

That'll make identity theft easier.

Can i change my gender everyday plz

Huh? Lol

its all a game until they die and stuck in Eternal HÉLLÈ

How is this good? Should biological gender hospital records be altered?

I thought elon got to decide.

It just doesn't stop with these people. They probably want to push this to the SCOTUS. It's just endless relitgation. The party that can't wear a mask is always trying to tell everyone else what they should do .

No comment 🤐

WTF Ohio? What has happened to you in the 70’s we were somewhat cool?

💪🏽🏳️‍🌈💥

Ohio Republicans, they just want a white Ohio with no gays..

Ha ha ha ha ha ohiogop Up yours

That’s terrific

Sick

Hey I work in a ER cleaning COVID-19 rooms and I’m in need of help getting the funds to transition if you could donate/share that would be amazing. Plus I also have a cash app: $LRosess

Complete idiocy.....only in a democratic world....

We are truly in the end times. The evil in this world has never been worse. The evil leftist agenda is sinking this country to a level of immorality not seen since the Great Flood and sodom and Gomorrah. And its sad to see. Repent and be saved b4 its too late

Sickening. This country continues its quick decline further into the pits of immorality. We have turned so far from God it is sad to see. So many will deny him even when faced with the truth that is coming soon for all to see.

LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Gender or sex? It’s not possible to change your sex. Pretty sure newborns don’t have an established consciousness on their gender.

You can be whoever you are, whoever you want to be, BUT you must remember how you came in. They should come up with an appendage to the original.

Science only matters when it meets your narrative.

Fear. Do not be afraid of people different from you. They will not hurt you.

Good

Follow the science. Unless it’s biology then screw that

It’s over

Wtaf should we care how they list themselves. What business is that of mine. Whatever they decide is fine by me, you do you. You’d think the party of personal responsibility, and you can’t tell me what to do with my body so why wear a mask would support this. Can’t be bigotry

Stop the insanity! Enough is enough!

A broken unbalanced world becoming so confused on its sexual identity.

GUAIDIOT Tratando de Manipular al Jugar con EL HAMBRE de los Venezolanos, El Hambre CREADO por ellos mismos y la misma Oposicion con su Tesis de SANCIONES Y BLOQUEOS. GUAIDIOT Promueve el TERRORISMO 👎

Apply to have it legally changed like everyone else... I bet if I wrote on my bc it would become invalid

Good. Let these people be. What box they check on their birth certificate doesnt hurt anyone. Everyone needs to mind their own business.

Jesus is coming soon 🙏🙏🙏

Gender identity =/= gender it means you're delusional.

AShoppings

When a male becomes transgender female does that mean they also have mammogram, menstruate and undergoes pelvic exam?

I checked my Birth Certificate and it says sex: not gender; so it's male or female; so no need to correct mine; male equals male; doesn't impact my life

Gender means sex not your sexual preference or psychological leaning. The Oxford Etymological Dictionary of the English Language of 1882 defined gender as kind, breed, sex, derived from the Latin ablative case of genus, like genere natus, which refers to birth.

This world is too upside down for me. Men wanting to be women, women wanting to be men. The sex you were born as should never change on your birth certificate. Just my opinion

How can they choose to change their own gender when they don't gender they are in the first place. What if they pick the wrong one.

This world is getting crazier

Ohio State is right to ban it.simply a man can't be a woman like a woman also can't. Will a man become transgender can see period, get pregnant, give birth no.and a woman also the other way around. Everything has limits otherwise it's worse.

A nonsense.

Science says there are only two sexes- male and female. Btw is there more important issue going on now that fake news CNN not reporting .... such as GOP hearing on election FRAUD 2020!

BananaLand

And there should be a law protecting people from getting involved with people who change their gender. LET'S BE FAIR!!

Libtards gone wild

Fact there is only two genders

We need to stop normalizing this. NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL. Just because someone is offended that there are only 2 genders doesn’t mean the entire world has to cater to them!

Why couldn't they petition to have it changed later in life? Is that not a thing?

I though we must follow the Science? Haha

So,this will open way for biological Male to participate in biological female games?

Making people believe something does not change reality, and reality is the people are born either male or female, and that will be their genetic identity forever, no matter what a paper says.

Good on Ohio. So many hateful comments under this tweet. If you’re not trans, guess what this has no impact on you whatsoever. So stfu haters. For those this does impact this is a wonderful step in the right direction.

Just one example why we conservatives lose our friggin mind..New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Justice Brett Kavanaugh accused sexual misconduct without evidence, but the mainstream media only cared about one story, critics believe this simply example of bias against conservatives.

If federal judges allow people to alter their birth certificates then alter criminal records. Social security numbers, driving records, citizenship records. what has this country become! When you are born, that’s what you are born with. Keep trying to change history 🤦‍♀️

People are born either male or female, and that will be their genetic identity forever, no matter what a paper says. Reality can't be altered.

Wouldn't that actually be falsifying a birth certificate?
