Choose your own gender

Nothing means anything anymore:

Separating anatomy from what it means to be a man or a woman, New York City is moving forward with a plan to let people alter the sex on their birth certificate even if they have not had sex-change surgery.

Under the rule being considered by the city’s Board of Health, which is likely to be adopted soon, people born in the city would be able to change the documented sex on their birth certificates by providing affidavits from a doctor and a mental health professional laying out why their patients should be considered members of the opposite sex, and asserting that their proposed change would be permanent.


If this is socially acceptable, then I think that if I can prove that in my mind my house is only worth $37 and that I've thought that way for at least two years and I get two people to testify to my mindset, I should be able to go to the assessor's office and change the valuation of my property.
