It's A Boy
Photo of Ethan Fechter-Leggett



      Ethan Fechter-Leggett shows his new birth certificate from Florida affirming his sex as male. It was not an unambiguous step forward, however: the transman and graduating UVM senior was unable to get his name changed from its original, Justin. After several phone calls, Fechter-Leggett was told that the only reason the state would consent to changing the sex on his birth certificate without additional expense and documentation was that his birth name was typically a male name.
