I support the proposed amendment of 12VAC5-550-320 Change of sex
 

A birth certificate is a vital piece of identification, upon which many other documents rely. It should reflect a person’s present gender. Otherwise it creates confusion at best, invites discrimination, and may endanger the person. Therefore, I support the change in this regulation.
