(continued from page 6) to ease gender change requirements of birth certificates passed both houses, but was later vetoed by Christie in early 2014. This would affect me at the tail end of last year, when frustrated with various things in PA, I absconded to California, which, like many states, requires that a birth certificate be presented when switching ones license over. Even though I had "female" on my PA license, I had to get a doctor's note (difficult due to it being hard to locate a doctor while using Medicaid) to override the New Jersey birth certificate Governor Christie won't let me change to get an accurate gender marker on my new CA license, a process that took 50 days. So Christie is still hurting me all the way across the country. We must do better, not only by name changes, but by the medieval and convoluted system of birth certificates. A primary identity document should not have extraterritorial jurisdiction over people's lives, and transgender people should not have to be put in a position to have to report a name change, but be unable to change their gender marker on their birth certificates. We need to fix society. Page 22
