Fully agree! You and your readers might find this report useful - it's an independent review on the use of correct sex-based data collection that was published recently in the UK. Personally I hadn't realised just how deeply the ideology had infested public institutions in the UK. Hopefully the tide is turning now but it will take time to completely root out the ideology.
So far as I have ever known, NO original birth certificate can be reissued in the US, except in cases of adoption.
When my son was born in California in the 1990s, the clerk made a major and incredibly stupid mistake in typing his birth certificate. I had just been through an emergency C-section, so I sent my husband to the hospital sign the official certificate, which he did. When he got home and I asked if he'd been sure to read it first, he said, "I was so exhausted, I just asked her if it was all correct, and she said it was."
Now, I used to work at a university typing up official graduation certificates. There is not a chance in hell that I would have let any certificate out of my office without being double, triple, and quadruple checked. I made no mistakes. Ever. And that's a certificate that can easily be reissued.
When we received our copy of our son's birth certificate and saw the clerk's massive error, I was horrified. I immediately called the hospital and was reassured that it would be fixed. We were required to fill out a form that asked, insultingly enough, why we "changed our minds."
When we received our new copy, it was the exact same birth certificate, with a correction stapled to the back.
I took my newborn to the hospital and asked the clerk for copies of everything in my baby's file. When I got the file home, everything was there *except* the original form we'd filled out correctly. I guess it just kind of fell out why she was making those copies.
We then went to city hall and waited in line for an hour with our newborn, to demand of the city that his birth certificate be recorded correctly and not according to some random typist's inability to read. The man behind the counter dismissed us out-of-hand and shouted over our heads for the next in line. I refused to budge, at which his manager came and took us into her office, where she very kindly explained that she completely understood and would feel exactly the same way, but it was simply impossible to reissue the birth certificate, unless we wanted to adopt our son.
So, to this day, my son's birth certificate is hugely and insanely wrong.
But now if he'd just pretend to change his sex, we could finally fix it? As in: pretend he's female, then pretend he's switched back to male again??
It affects siblings also - in Australian states the birth certificate lists siblings - those children’s birth certificates then reference a child who no longer appears on birth records…
I have an adopted daughter. It has always seriously bothered me that after her adoption, they changed her birth certificate so that my husband and I are listed as the biological parents. Everything you said here applies there as well. It's a straight-up lie and it dismisses the real and lived experience of her actual biological mother and father (not to mention it centers us and not her and completely erases her own story).
Totally agree with you ,the author. I will never understand what has happened to our societies ( I'm British ). Some people just refuse to face reality and real facts are anathema to them.The fact that the authorities are pushing these lies is mind bogglingly despicable. How these people live with themselves is mystifying to the SANE population ( ie the majority ) ,so keep fighting. Facts are facts and lies won't change that x
That such things must be defined and argued over and that men are men and women are women, is an affront to humanity and all that is good, noble, and worthy.
My son changed his full name and sex on his birth certificate with ease. A form and a letter from a doctor or psychologist and a small fee. He proudly texted me a picture of his new document along with a threat. (Call me this or it’s harassment.)
Although I couldn’t see gender anywhere on the paper, it did have both his given name (listed as formally known as) and the name he has given himself. I do not know if the actual birth registration was changed as well. I cannot understand why this would be allowed - to change your name is one thing, but to change our shared history, medical facts, should not be allowed. There is small comfort knowing my medical records will have his birth recorded as a male.
God help us. It’s so painful to be rejected on so many levels while at the same time many of our institutions betray us and reality.
I am sending the letter to the hospital where I gave birth to my son. Thanks so much. I hope this works to help create a law against birth record fraud, as you suggested in your writing. It's going to a the Bureau of Vital Records, Birth Unit, in a state that I believe would be opposed to birth record fraud.
My first line above is a typo. I sent the letter to the Bureau of Vital Records, Birth Unit, as you said to do. I was able to include a copy of the original birth certificate because I have a copy of it.
I never thought about it like this but you are so right. My younger daughter has had her name changed but she did not get a new birth certificate yet. I thought it was strange but she could change her license and passport with just the court order. On another note, in most states you have to give public notice you are changing your name. They are only suppose to make an exception in cases of domestic violence where having the name change published could cause you physical harm or death. My daughter was able to change hers with no notice. I would love to know what she told the judge would happen to her if she was found out. Especially because she had to tell us anyway because of some legal issues. So many people working against us.
I agree with almost all of what you said. I am going though to push back on the end at this line "If birth certificates are modified for identity preferences, a history of all versions must be included and visible within the document." Should any other version be allowed? This is a long comment and I apologize. But it is an issue front and center in the times in which we live.
We are on the verge of digital ids. See this for concerns: see https://www.cchfreedom.org/ Those in charge desire to connect all things to each other. This includes electronic medical records (EMRs), energy consumption, food, financials, etc... From AI - "Digital birth certificates are emerging as part of the broader digital identity landscape, offering greater efficiency and convenience....Currently, traditional birth certificates are not forms of identification on their own; they serve as proof of citizenship but do not include a photograph or other identifying elements necessary for official identification purposes....As digital identity systems evolve, it is likely that birth certificates will become more integrated with digital ID systems, potentially enhancing their utility and security. However, this integration will require careful consideration of privacy and security concerns to maintain public trust."
One day I gave birth to a daughter who we loved and cherished. Her campus, the medical cartel, and fraudulent government (state and federal) actors encouraged document changes (birth certificate included and a necessary first step to change the others). Essentially it stated I gave birth to something other than a daughter. This is a lie. Years later she exited the cult and went through the process to reverse it. I believe birth certificates need to retain their original function and document the birth. We are only born once. Should my daughter's past activity caused by bad actors follow her around (or me for that matter)? I believe all those documents should be null and void and never 'connected.' I also believe all actors in these crimes should be held to account.
The move to digital including EMRs makes it easy to track, trace, and research things like cross sex id. They find 'evidence' for the fraudulent activity of 'transgender.' They call it 'transgender' as though it is real and more programs are built etc. The govt / medicine etc has been collecting SOGI 'evidence' for a long time.
Lastly, there is an international organization called HL-7 whose members include CDC, FDA, state id programs, tech companies etc. They are working on interoperability standards across digital platforms. The federal govt pushes this adoption. HL-7 has a project called 'Gender Harmony.' This is where myriad 'identities' are decided (with input from industry) for international digital platforms. The US is just one player of many but this org is in the US with US companies. Perhaps one day this language will again reflect the reality of the human condition as male or female. Last time I looked at HL-7 the gender project was live. As for the Trump admin, so far notices have been slapped on federal info regarding what is called "Healthy People 2030." This is essentially a watered down version of the UN Social Determinants of Health. It is where SOGI data lives. Trump's notice is something of the effect that LGB data is ok to collect (is it?) but the T stuff is out. He cannot just remove it. If Trump is serious the fight lays ahead. As a reminder many 'trans' people now do exist and Trump has partnered with the tech gurus. Will this be evidence to push forward with a digital identity across platforms reflecting lies?

Thank you for raising this issue, it's so important to all of us parents. It is rewriting the historical record and it has our names associated with a lie. It IS a big deal. I can't abide what is happening.
Perjurious documents are an important tenet related to the transcult's insistence that everyone be roped into their delusion. The emperor's new clothes, new pronouns, body self-harm, and falsified documents are all part of it. (I'm waiting for the first criminal case to be overturned because nobody can clearly identify the sex of the defendant!)
Wow, Washington State has gone completely 1984/Brave New World crazy. Thank you for posting this template action letter. We do need much louder pushback on destruction of documents. All of this was spelled out in Orwell's 1984 book. An essential component of a Totalitarian "Marxist" New World Order is the erasure of family, history and traditions, so that the "masses" can be easily manipulated, controlled, and culled. The rise of Civilizational and Populist movements, such as Maga, in America, and similar movements in Europe -- will eventually defeat this co-ordinated plan and attack on humanity and all that makes us human.

I can't even.
Thank you for articulating a real concern that is little understood and less talked about. The ramifications of "gender identity" are endless.
It affects siblings also - in Australian states the birth certificate lists siblings - those children’s birth certificates then reference a child who no longer appears on birth records…
Wow.
It's a radical act to create a family tree on Ancestry.com now.
The latest info per state on birth certificates (which is always changing) can be found here.

There should be no 'gender' markers only sex markers. Until (if) we return to accurate language these battles will continue.
