Government interest in name only useful so far is it is an identifying factor.

[OutinWestTexas @OutinWestTexas]

Claire Bow: There is public interest in your name as an identifier. #oiwt2017

[OutinWestTexas @OutinWestTexas]

Claire Bow: Petitions for name and gender marker changed can be filed outside of the county in which you live in Texas. #oiwt2017

[Patrick Ramsey @RamseyTherapist]

....stipulated necessity of expert guidance to decide....none of cases had recognized persons right to decide gender.

[OutinWestTexas @OutinWestTexas]

Claire Bow: The authority for gender marker changes is not statutory but inherent in the authority of district courts. #oiwt2017

Easy to make assumptions about trans folk...most just identify differently than they did at 1st, or just outside the norm.
