Texas Just Quietly Revoked Trans People’s Ability to Change Their Birth Certificates
Them ^ | Sept 3, 2024 | Nico Lang

Texas has stopped allowing trans people to correct the gender marker on their birth certificates, according to LGBTQ+ advocacy groups in the state.

On Friday, the Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT), the state’s largest trans advocacy organization, reported that the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) removed the option to amend an individual’s sex in the application form to correct birth certificates. TENT provided screenshots to Them, appearing to show form VS-170, the application used for birth certificate corrections, before and after the recent changes. The form bearing a revision date of January 21 allows applicants to “correct child’s date of birth, place of birth, time of birth, or sex” in Box #1 located on Page Two. But as of August 24, the form no longer includes birth-assigned sex as a potential reason for records corrections.

Good. Because professing a false identity on an official government document should be a crime.

Good! The idea that you can change your sex is nonsense.

It’s not *sex assigned*.

It’s sex observed.

It wasn’t done “quietly”.

Great-it is a crime to assume a false identity with the intent to commit fraud-which presenting yourself as someone of the opposite sex on a doc like a BC certainly is...

The only ‘possible’ reason I have seen in the past for need for a change of birth-sex was due to an accident/fault of the doctor in performing a circumcision that ended with the complete mutilation of the penis. [Doctor said it was equipment malfunction, IIRC but parents said otherwise].

It was decided by the parents and the hospital that it was best to perform the transgendering and allowing the child to grow up as a female. Years and years ago, I never followed upon the outcome of that.

The outcome was horrific. Look it up. A tragic story with the physician being a freak show too.

Turns out that the doctor was a perv who falsified years of studies and became the foundation for todays belief that a whackitoffomy or an addadicktomy changes a persons sex.

Because, click-bait. They sell their soul to Google in return for clicks and impressions ad revenue.

Bloggers are whores of Babylon who will do anything for the all-mighty buck, including, but not limited to, falsely categorizing their opinions as facts, a.k.a. "news," again, not unlike the lame-stream media.

Bloggers pretend to be hard-hitting journalists, when, in reality, all they're interested in is the money, not unlike the lame-stream media.

To that end, they post their drivel here on FR, which does not have ads, to drive FReepers to their site so they can milk FReepers.

They do this, despite the fact that JimRob has expressly stated that he does not want to have that happen.

Bloggers don't care. They have no honor. As long as they get a few shekels in their pocket, they're happy.
