Attorney General Dana Nessel has issued an opinion calling Michigan s requirement of proof of sex-reassignment surgery to change the gender on an individual s birth certificate unconstitutional.
This comes after Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Director, Elizabeth Hertel, made a formal request for the Attorney General s opinion regarding the issue in February.
Previously, the only way a transgender person could change the sex designation on their birth certificate was with an affadavit from a physician certifying that sex-reassignment surgery had been performed. Nessel said that this requirement created a discriminatory double standard for trans people.
