Massachusetts changes policy on gender marker change

The new policy requires a person who wishes to change the gender marker on their state issued identification to submit an updated application together with a Gender Designation Change Form, signed by him or her and a medical provider attesting to the gender that the individual considers himself or herself to be. The policy no longer requires a person to submit medical proof of sex reassignment surgery or an amended birth certificate.

Okay, someone tell me why, when Mass. has yet to spontaneously combust from all these wonderful human rights things, other states haven't followed suit?

This is most interesting.....I wonder what constituted 'medical proof'. o_O

Generally it would be paperwork from a doctor proving you're on hormones and/or have had a surgery.
