Transgender Texans now barred from changing sex listed on birth certificates
Texas is no longer allowing transgender people to update the sex marker listed on their birth certificates, Austin radio station KUT reports. Under a policy change quietly put in place Friday, Texans who obtained court orders to change the sex listed on the birth certificates can no longer do so, a Texas Department of State Health Services spokesperson told the NPR affiliate. However parents still can change birth certificates for children whose sex was incorrectly recorded due to a hospital's mistake or omission, according to the report.
