Editing your birth certificate in the case of adoption is also a lie. Basically trying to reverse who your real parents are and change it to some people who adopted you and not your real birth parents. The legal purposes are another thing entirely, and are also complete bullshit.
Lol, well, if we're going to start talking about questions of morals, ethics, and what's right, why the hell are we talking about a legal document (or any part of the legal/governmental system)?
Besides, wouldn't the government still keep the original copy of the birth certificate, and simply file revised copies along side it?
They usually keep stuff like that, at least here in the US I would think they do. I doubt they would destroy his original birth certificate just to make him feel better about himself.
I want to find my original one and frame it. (If I could have it reinstated that would also be super cool, though I doubt it would actually happen.)
The problem here is that you're basically forcing your partner to change their sexual orientation since you have changed sex. Why should people need to do that? If you're not into a particular sex, then it shouldn't be a crime for doing so.
When the hell did this turn into GA forcing Ren to be a lesbian? I thought he was forcing her to make an extremely difficult
choice (essentially, to live, no matter what, in some far-less-than-ideal scenario).
