As an Alexandria resident 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 These important updates will remove outdated language and clarify the gender change process for Virginia birth certificates.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. Beyond this amendment, Virginia should join the District and Maryland and many other states) in adding an X gender marker to Driver's License's/State IDs.
