Individuals who claim they're "transgender" are suing the New York City Health Department over what they say is discrimination. These people are upset because the city won't change the sex listed on their birth certificates unless they've had elaborate surgery to refashion their private parts and received subsequent psychiatric evaluations attesting to the permanence of their supposed "transition" to the opposite gender.
The claimants want the bureaucracy to make it easier to change the sex that was recorded at birth, noting that parents fixing mistakes (typos) in listing a child's sex only have to provide a letter from the birth hospital. "Knowing that it was a mistake in the first place, and having that fixed, is pretty important to me," said Joann Prinzivalli, who was born Paul yet l...

WASHINGTON, April 13, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Family Research Council (FRC) praised the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit for ruling in Adar v. Smith that a Louisiana registrar's insistence that only one father's name could go on a birth certificate for a child adopted by a homosexual couple did not violate the child's right to equal protection under law, while not denying legal recognition of the New York adoption by both men.

I met Johnny Science when he was performing as Suzie Science in the band, "Science" at the W.O.W. (Women's One World) cafe in the East Village in the early 80s. I remember being intrigued and excited by the original music and songs, and by the boisterous charisma of the lead singer's performance. A few years later, in April 1989,1 met the lead singer again. This time he had become Johnny Science, and he was being interviewed by [Annie Sprinkle] for an article she was writing for "Adam" magazine. As I was well-known at that time as a downtown performance artist who crossdressed as a man, Annie used before and after photographs of me as an example of female to male transformation.
