Nathan,

You hit the nail on the head. I guess women will have to start bringing attack dogs to the washrooms with them. I suppose the women who do protect themselves will be charged with some offense or other. If this stupidity goes through I guess I never will see NY.

Ahhh Rrrrrussia! She looks very good right now!

Another indication that this country is going to hades in a handbasket. I think what we need to do is to take the Byzantine village one step further. We need an island, which we can call Pravoslavnaya. Complete with a regiment of cossacks to defend. Might I suggest New Caledonia?

That's pretty ironic considering what my husband had to go through to get an error on his birth certficate corrected in the state of NY.

It took weeks and several letters, phone calls and faxes to get a transcription error fixed. He was adopted as an infant. The state of NY issues a new birth certficate listing the adoptive parents. Well when the clerk typed up the new certificate she typed my husband's name in both the child's name field and the father's name field. So my husband was listed as his own father.

It took us weeks to get it all straightened out.

Now they're going to just let people make changes to their birth certificates willy nilly? That's insane.

I couldn't get to it without a log in, which I'm too lazy to remember.

I looked up the topic on Google, though, and found this interesting:

Quote
David Usher, a senior policy analyst for the True Equality Network and president of the American Coalition for Fathers and Children, sees the policy switch as opening the doors to same-sex marriage without new legislation.

"The New York elite is attempting to make same-sex marriage legal without making it legal," he says. "This illegal maneuver must be stopped dead in its tracks. If successful, feminists will roll this legal maneuver out everywhere possible to effectively make state constitutional amendments banning gay marriage useless."

There seems little question that a man, who changes his sex on paper through this method, could marry another man. It is also likely to make it more difficult for adoption agencies to find out the actual sex of a proposed parent.

...

New York is at the forefront of adopting measures aimed at blurring the lines of sexual identification. Last month, for instance, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority agreed to let people define their own gender when deciding whether to use the men's or women's bathrooms.
