there is a way you can protect yourself from everything, but how easy it is to do it depends on the state. that is: changing your gender marker on your birth certificate. unfortunately, if you were born in american samoa, florida, montana, oklahoma, tennessee, or texas, this can no longer be done, and if you were born in alabama, arkansas, georgia, guam, iowa, louisiana, kentucky, missouri, nebraska, new hampshire, north dakota, northern mariana islands, south carolina(kind of, it requires you to convince a judge your change is irreversible), us virgin islands, west virginia, wisconsin, and wyoming, you must get srs before doing so. the states that currently do not require srs are the following: alaska, arizona, california, colorado, connecticut, delaware, hawaii, idaho, illinois, indiana, kansas, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, mississippi, nevada, new jersey, new mexico, new york, north carolina, ohio, oregon, pennsylvania, puerto rico, rhode island, south dakota, utah, vermont, virginia, washington, and washington d.c.
