I can’t be the only one who needs their birth certificate (to get a passport). They won’t issue me a new one, yet they also won’t issue me my old one, because my social security card and driver’s license don’t say I’m the person who is on the birth certificate, my legal id that they want as proof is for the person they’re denying the change to! If I could at least get the female one, the FEDERAL government will accept everything I have and give me a male passport, but NYC is doing this bs under the stupid fake excuse as some sort of counter terrorism thing.
