Gia Gunn announced on Twitter that she has had her birth certificate corrected.
The season 6 contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race posted earlier this week, “No document will ever validate or justify my gender, but I am so proud of myself for getting this done!”

Gia announced in April that she is transgender on Instagram. She had a court appointment to correct her birth certificate several weeks later.
