| 52 | Paula Heilmann | For many of us with GID, having GRS is a financial roadblock that can not be overcome and for others where the surgery is unattainable due to other health reasons, this change in the statue will provide parity for all pre-op and post -op trans people and eliminate discrimination due to gender marker printed on their driver's license and their gender of their picture on the same license. It will greatly assist those in transition to maintain and obtain employment in their chosen gender. |

| 54 | Natalie Blackburn | This is an incredibly discriminatory practice that puts transpeople in an unfair place during the time that they have begun transition but not had surgery. More so, there are many transpeople who for many reasons opt to not have surgery. This is perhaps the best reason to remove the surgery requirement. |

| 74 | Stephanie Dula | Do the right thing and allow the gender marker to be changed without surgery. Numerous people cannot have surgery even though they need to. A persons financial situation or health condition that contraindicates surgery should not be a hindrance to live as their true gender. |

| 76 | Mikayla Howden | Nice Job on the petition, this is a very important issue that needs to move forward for all transsexuals, pre-op or non-op in New Hampshire to be able to live there lives without the fear of discrimination, and predudice in employment and/or everyday life. |
| 77 | Daniel R Cole | I am a graduate of Dartmouth, and I know that there are Dartmouth students with GID (and in particular, female-to-male students, for whom the current requirements are especially unreasonable). New Hampshire's economy depends on attracting residents of this caliber. Stay competitive with neighboring states and change your policy. |

| 79 | Tyler O'Neil | It is unfair and unjust to discriminate or to force upon a decision to an individual or group based on differances that should not single them out from the genneral public EVERY LIFE HAS EQUAL RIGHT |
| 80 | Merlyn Carey | Having grown up in and planning to return to NH, it is a shame that the"live free or die" state is needlessly and cruelly impact the lives of its people in this way. |
| 81 | Valerie Cadorette | This should be the decision of the people/person it pertains to. I understand certain steps have to be taken before the final results can take affect, but once this has been done why does the government have the final say. It does not affect them in any way except their personal belief. |

| 88 | Sam Weinert | I am a transsexual woman, and as such I understand very clearly that requiring transsexual people who live day to day in their identified gender to have a surgery they may not feel they need and which would cost them far more than most people can afford is absolutely discriminatory and misguided. Your gender identity is in your head and your heart - not in your genitals. It is extremely difficult to get by without a drivers license or state ID that matches who you are. Lives are severely stunted and sometimes ruined because of this. Please vote to alleviate the immense discrimination and suffering of those who have already undergone more suffering than you could ever imagine. |
| 89 | Edith Pilkington | Really, I believe there is no need for a gender marker on birth certificates or other forms of identification. It isn't much different than having a race marker. I know of many instances where binary gender markers are inaccurate to begin with. |
| 90 | Alex | For someone to present themselves to the rest of the world as transgender is a brave action that is followed by lots of tests to see if the person really wants to go through with this life altering change. If a person reaches the point where a certified therapist or medical professional is willing to write a letter in support of the person transitioning, this should be sufficient for a gender marker to be changed on the drivers license or picture ID. |

| 99 | Linda Stevens | This is a very important issue for people with gender issue! |
| 100 | John Vesperman | Waiting until after surgery leaves every pre-op trans person in danger. The Benjamin protocols for gender reassignment require the candidate to live in their chosen gender for at least one year before surgery can be approved. Requiring that person to live with a gender marker on their primary ID that is opposite to their daily presentation creates great difficulty for that person on a daily basis. Marker change should be allowed once the candidate has begun RLT under a therapist's supervision. |
