I Wonder What Connecticut Will Be Like

Connecticut birth certificate law will go into effect on October 1st and I wonder will there be a rush to change our birth certificates like in New York City?

NEW YORK (AP) -- The number of New Yorkers who have applied for transgender birth certificates has skyrocketed since the city council removed the sex reassignment surgery requirement.

The council decided last year that a person does not need to have sex reassignment surgery to change the gender designation on his or her birth certificate.
The governor hasn’t signed the bill yet but he was in favor of the bill so he will probably sign it into law.

Will Connecticut see the same rush to get the gender on trans people who can’t have surgery? The nuts and bolts still have to worked out her in Connecticut first, what forms will we need and how much will it cost to get our gender changed on our birth certificates needs to be determined.

Update 6/12/15 7:30AM
You cannot change your birth certificate if you were born in NYC, only if you are living in NYC and were born elsewhere in NY.
