As a Virginian and constituent, I support updates to 12 VAC 5-550! These important updates will remove outdated language and clarify the gender change process for Virginia birth certificates. Every person in Virginia should have access to identity documents that accurately reflect who they are so they can live and work in the Commonwealth without experiencing discrimination and harassment. I have friends and family who are transgender, and I personally know from their experiences how much changes like this could improve their lives. Thank you!
