In other action Monday, the AMA said transgender people should be able to switch the sex designation on their birth certificates without having sex-change surgery.
Most states make the operations a prerequisite. But the new AMA policy acknowledges that gender identity doesn’t always match a person’s birth anatomy.

The report also says patients deserve medical care that is appropriate to their birth anatomy even if they self-identify as the opposite sex.
The new policy won praise from the National Center for Transgender Equality.
