cool, but I don’t wanna invalidate my passport 😞
I don’t see how this law would do that.
Existing law requires the court to limit access to these records to specified individuals, including, among others, the minor, the minor’s parents, and their attorneys.
the records currently are very restricted. this law would make it even more so. This would allow minors to change their name without their parents being entitled to that information.
If you choose to share that information about yourself this law won’t effect you. This law will stop some people close to you from having access to your records through the court.
Unless I’m missing something this bill won’t invalidate passports, but it will protect trans people from transphobic relatives or others.
Only you and your lawyer can access those if this goes into effect.
They should issue a new birth certificate with the correct sex marker to match the person’s gender
California already does that, you just have to file for it with the department of public health.
Only works if you were born in California, since birth certificates are handled by individual states.
