New York Plans To Make Gender Personal Choice
New York City Board of Health is expected to adopt rule allowing people to change gender listed on their birth certificate; people born in city would have to provide affidavits from doctor and mental health professional specifying why their patients should be considered members of opposite sex; applicants would have to have changed their name and show that they have lived in their adopted gender for at least two years; rule, if adopted, would not require sex-change surgery or other medical requirements; proposal puts New York at center of efforts to redefine gender and shows how transgender movement has gained political power beyond its small numbers; transgender advocates note prohibitive cost of sex-change surgery and say proposal is overdue protection against discrimination; some doctors and psychiatrists are skeptical, saying choosing one's gender defies medical history
