    Do you genuinely think the government doesn’t have any trace of whether or not you have changed your gender marker?

    Depends on how the state does it. California amends birth certificate in most cases by leaving the previous version of the document as an addendum to the current… except in cases of gender change. If any person or agency queries the document they see a single page that reflect the updated gender, no history.

    (They also do this if your name has a slur in it that you want removed, which is nice)
