It doesn’t change the past, let’s not get so dramatic here. This isn’t back to the future, no one is going to disappear from changing government records to more accurately reflect their sex/gender through a process we already have. It only became a big deal when Republicans re-declared war on LGBT Americans despite it being a decades-old practice.
Should we get this concerned when people change their name? That is also on a birth certificate, should we pass laws about that too? Of course not. We’ve expected women to do it for centuries. Yet somehow sex/gender is now sacrosanct? It’s immutable and must be protected for record keeping? Come on man.
