Colorado was on its way to joining the states California, Iowa, New York, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington, and the District of Columbia to allow birth certificates to be changed without surgery.
You know at one time the Republicans were behind legislation, they saw it as a means to help trans people get jobs, but now the Republicans are on a crusade against anything LGBT. It should be interesting to see how they vote on Connecticut’s bill because the Public Health Committee vote was bipartisan, will it continue to be bipartisan in the House and Senate?
Things are getting a little hectic as we approach the Trans Health and Law conference on the 25th I have a thousand things to get done.
