My point is this. the SSA's requirements cause me problems with getting the proper medical care[ I am a woman!] such as Mammograms; they also make it impossible to keep my female designation upon my legal ID in all but 16-17 states. This can cause me trouble with employment, as well as other things. The US Passport requirements have been updated; Social Security, it's time to change with the times!
Why is this important?
As a pre-operation transgender woman living on Social Security Disability, I realize that the Social Security Administration's requirement that, in order to get one's gender changed one must have sexual reassignment surgery, is definitely outdated! on My Connecticut Driver's License, only a statement on letterhead from a licensed MD or Psychologist is needed for this!
