      California already does that, you just have to file for it with the department of public health.

      Only works if you were born in California, since birth certificates are handled by individual states.

      CA allows for birth certificate gender marker changes by self declaration. For $52 and a notary you can get a copy of a new birth certificate with a different gender marker.

      Name changes require you to attach a court ordered name change document.

      Different parts of the government handle different things. Courts don’t do birth certificates.
