It also makes it much more difficult in many more legal procedures when the certificate and themselves do not actually add up
To deny them of it is just wrong, and im pretty sure its allowed in this country to change the certificate, i mean its legal to get a heterosexual marriage between trans individuals so it must be.
Plus especially in a lot of the cases with the birth name, their parents actually support them on the change, and they were the ones who chose the name in their first place, so  |
Do employers ever ask for a copy of a birth cert though? I never came across that before
