Gender confusion...
A 37-year-old woman from
Georgia in the USA whose birth
certificate mistakenly labeled
her as male had to jump through
some major hoops to get her
driver’s license renewed.
Nakia Grimes said she had never
really had occasion to look closely
at her birth certificate, so she
never noticed the mistake.
“You only look at the name, the
date and the year,” Grimes told
the Fox 5 local TV station.
However a woman working at
Georgia’s Department of Driver
Services did notice, and came to
Grimes with an unusual request.
“She said I needed to go have
a Pap exam, have a doctor write
a note verifying you’re a woman
and bring it back notarized,”
That was something Grimes
said she was unwilling to do.
The matter was cleared up once
state authorities examined the
birth certificate of Grimes’ son.
Fortunately the document listed
Grimes as the mother, which
cleared up any confusion about
whether or not she was really
female.
