12-Year Old Transgender Boy Granted New Birth Certificate

Wren Kauffman, who was born a female, has always identified herself as a male. The family had been campaigning for a new birth certificate for quite some time but it was always policy that in order to be granted a new birth certificate a SRS or sex reassignment surgery was necessary. Alberta has since waived that policy and awarded Wren and his family with a new birth certificate at a pride brunch with the mayor of his hometown, Edmonton.
