Both the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey recognize legal change of status from one sex to the other when an individual undergoes surgery to change the genitalia from that of one sex to that of another. The most useful example of this policy is with legal identification. Marriage, too, is another area where recognition of one’s new sex is useful. As the law stands now, a person who has changed her sex has the same legal status regarding her sex as does a person who was born into that sex.
