read before proceeding
The Florida Department of Health recently changed its policy to prohibit gender marker amendments on Florida birth certificates. You can still amend your legal name on your FL birth certificate, using the court order for legal name change, but they are refusing to amend gender markers regardless of what evidence is submitted in support of the requested amendment. Southern Legal Counsel is working to challenge this discriminatory new policy, and we hope to restore the rights of all transgender folks born in Florida to possess accurate birth records reflecting their gender identity. Contact Simone Chriss at Southern Legal Counsel if you are discriminated against by the FL Dept of Health.
