Comment Period | Ended on 10/4/2019 |
The current process for having gender markers changed in VA is too difficult and stressful for transgender people and their families. It should not be left up to a random judge to determine who someone is, when doctors, counselors, parents, and the person themselves already know it to be true. The process should be easier, more accessible, and should not involve crossing fingers and hoping that the judge understands transgender issues.
