I know, this sounds like one of those transgender stories, but its actually not. David Hassan, an Iraq War veteran was the victim of a misprint on his birth certificate which said the clearly male Hassan is a woman<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Hassan was not bothered by the mistake until he moved to New Jersey after serving in Iraq with the Marine Corp, and tried to get a New Jersey driving license.<\/p>\n

His birth certificate identifying him as female raised eyebrows with the authorities, and the license was not issued, Peter Madison, Hassan’s lawyer, said in an interview.<\/p>\n

In a bid to set the record straight, Lenox Hill Hospital gave Hassan a letter in 2007 to show to the city’s Department of Health, which explained that he was male and not female – although his problems were far from over.<\/p>\n

“The city for reasons known only to themselves said that in the letter the hospital must state that it was their mistake,” Madison said. “Lenox Hill would not admit that it was their own mistake.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m surprised the Marine Corps didn’t give him shit about it. But, anyway, he’s been battling the hospital since 2007 in court in order to get his sex changed by the bureaucracy which made the mistake. So congratulations to Mr. Hassan for finally getting some satisfaction in his bid to switch teams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
