Doesn't it? Can you not transfer the documents with assigned gender, and then pursue records update in your new state?

Not for your birth certificate, no. That is fully in the hands of wherever you were born and can't change. Your driver's license/ID depends on your place of residence but you still would have to transfer a legal license from one state to another while moving, which can require several documents to prove you are who you say you are and live where you say you live. But that's really state specific!

Ugh that's frustrating. Well thx for sharing your expertise on that!

Fortunately Minnesota (and several other states, Vermont being another) simply lets you self ID your gender marker on your license, so your driver's license can have the correct gender even if your birth certificate can't be changed because of shithole states being shitty.
