Virginia bill allowing new birth certificate for transgender people heads to governor’s desk
WSLS ^ | 02/28/2020 | Rodney Robinson

The state legislature recently passed a bill that will allow transgender individuals to receive a new birth certificate, something advocates said will help transgender people acquire documentation in alignment with their identity. Senate Bill 657, sponsored by Sen. Jennifer Boysko, D-Fairfax, will allow a person to receive a new birth certificate to reflect the change of sex without the requirement of surgery. The individual seeking a new birth certificate also may list a new name if they provide a certified copy of a court order of the name change.

The bill requires proof from a health care provider that the individual went through "clinically appropriate treatment for gender transition." There is not a standard approach for an individual's transition. Treatment could include counseling, hormone therapy, sex reassignment surgery or a patient-specific approach from the medical provider.

Side by Side is an advocacy group whose primary work involves creating supportive communities for LGBTQ youth. Lewis believes that this bill removes the "unnecessary and costly requirement of surgery," and it would allow transgender people "to have documentation of who they are." "This bill removes an unnecessary hurdle for transgender people," Lewis said.

This is the third year that Boysko has introduced this bill. Lawmakers also recently passed Boysko's bill requiring the Department of Education to develop policies concerning the treatment of transgender students in public elementary and secondary schools.

Senate Bill 657 now goes to the governor’s desk for approval.

As a conservative, Virginia resident I’m so disappointed. Same as America being “mostly red” and only the highly populated cities being “blue”, same issue applies here. 80% of the state (or more) geographically votes conservative. But we’ve been hijacked by the liberals who have moved here and taken over the coasts and Richmond area. So sad :(

Do they have a “undecided” category?

A sub-branch of revisionist history. I was born male, but I’m wiping that out and super-imposing my new pseudo-reality now.

Is it just the gender that you can change? What about date and place? We could just call it the “Obama Cert”.

The left won’t be satisfied until this country is a smoking ruin. If that’s what they want then let’s git it on.

My son’s new girlfriend has a “sibling”. I’m still unsure of its birth gender, but it declares NO gender. Ok, I’m just stumped there.

I can see it coming —

The birth certificate, a fully notarized official legal document, says that I am a woman. I am accused of murder, but the DNA evidence clearly shows that the crime was committed by a man. So, I must be innocent, right??

I think they should just be burned.

There won’t be any records of any meaning left by the time these antisocial lunatics are through.

Re-open the asylums, please.

People think no worries it is just another crazy move by a rat state but it will have national implications and when one of these “it’s” go to a red state there’s going to be a problem. The SC will probably end up resolving it. We better hope we flip at least one of the rat Justices or this crap goes nationwide.

I own a small business that does work for government. I now identify as a woman for the purpose of getting preferential treatment on contract set-asides.

And I also am declaring my teenage sons to be women so they get lower car insurance.
