I don't see much of the argument against letting people change the sex on their birth certificate without surgery. If they can already change it with SS, and on their Driver's License and everywhere else then why does it matter? Seems like an arbitrary requirement to have to begin with.

And for HB396, never assume that common sense or reason is guaranteed. IMO most people naturally assume "biological sex" is split into two categories or male/female with rare exception. But bills should always err on the side of specificity because someone enforcing such a bill can interpret it however they want then claim it wasn't defined clearly as a defense later.

Both great statements. The use of biological sex is often assumed that there's only a few exceptions, but someone else did the math and we're looking at at max around 20k people whom this bill puts them in a grey area, we're as common as redheads
