Florida Denies Gender Marker Changes on Birth Certificates for Trans Residents

In the past year, Florida’s health department has denied requests to amend gender markers on birth certificates for transgender adults and minors, citing pre-existing statutes. Despite providing documentation of clinical treatment and legal name changes, applicants were rejected. This shift contradicts the department's decade-long practice of updating such records. Transgender Floridians, even with other government IDs reflecting their current gender identity, face a process seemingly designed to reject all applicants, with the Bureau of Vital Statistics issuing denial letters throughout 2023 and 2024. #Trans Rights
