    New Jersey made history this month by becoming the fourth state in the nation to create an alternative option on its birth certificates beyond male and female. Starting Feb. 1, there is a new category on birth certificates -- "undesignated/ non-binary" -- also known as Gender X. The change is part of the newly-enacted "Babs Siperstein Law," which streamlines the process for transgender residents to change the gender on their New Jersey birth certificates. Unlike in the past, people do not need to have gender-reassignment surgery to amend the document. Now, anyone can switch the gender on their birth certificate...

According to a notice...

    Transgendered New Yorkers would be able to get new birth certificates under a proposal being reviewed by the city's Board of Health. The board, which meets tomorrow, is poised to change the city's Health Code so that new birth certificates can be issued to match a person's current gender identity. "This is really good news," said Joe Tarver a spokesman for the Empire State Pride Agenda. "It's important particularly in a post-9/11 world. Anytime you board an Amtrak train or enter a building, you have to provide identification. "And if your ID doesn't match the gender [by which] you identify...
