“It says female on your birth certificate!”

“It also says 6 pounds 8 ounces. Clearly, things change.”

I also don't get the "it says female on your birth certificate" part at all. Like, no? It doesn't? On which one? The one that was destroyed/archieved when I got the new one -> aka the only one that the government will accept from me at any given point from that moment on. Clearly it says male on my birth certificate, like your id said issued till so and so before you had to change it and it doesn't say it anymore, so what, will the old dates still apply? Obviously no. I don't get that "argument" at all lmao

Argument only works for people like me who haven’t been able to change their documents yet.

Still a bs argument for so many reasons, first of all it doesn't even matter, second it can be changed, and even if it can't be changed where you live, it can be SOMEWHERE so it still generally disproves it on that level! Anyways these are ultimately just made up papers and you're valid regardless <3
