Do You Know Your Rights?

Do you know your rights where you live? Do you know if your state protects you from credit discrimination? What about how you change your birth certificate, do they issue you a new certificate, amend your old certificate or do they not allow you to change your birth certificate.

I came across this map on Transgender Law Center that lists all the states’ legal protections. Did you know that three states do not let you change your birth certificate at all? They are Idaho, Ohio, and Tennessee. More importantly in Oregon, Illinois, California, and the District of Columbia all have amended their law to not require surgery to change your birth certificate.
