April 17th
Interested in changing project topics. Contacted Plogue to see if I could help them with a circuit modeling project. They make a really cool project called ChipSounds, which "authentically emulates 15 vintage 8bit-era sound chips (on top of their variants), down to their smallest idiosyncrasies" in VST/AU/RTAS plugins. In addition to sounding really awesome, the research that goes into developing this product lines up quite well with my research interests (and interest in the compositional restraints, cool sounds, and retro cachet of chiptunes).
April 18th
David Viens from Plogue responded! They are interested in having me work on an analog circuit modeling, and have suggested a few possible projects. They are currently developing a new plugin that also seems very cool. As a fan of old consumer synths and sound making devices, I noticed a lot of familiar circuits in their promo video (especially excited about the Casio SK-1, Speak&Math, and SNES)!
I've responded and let them know about the two projects that I'm most interested in.
April 19th
I need to figure out the legal/intellectual property/&c. issues involved with doing a project for a company as coursework in a graduate class. Hoping to get this cleared up with Prof. Chafe (or other folks who are aware... Spencer? Jiffer?) in the class meeting today, so I can move forward in talks with Plogue and start doing some circuit modeling!
April 23rd
I'm starting to do some work on the Casio SK-1, modelling the analog portions of the circuits. What I worked on over the weekend:
I spent some time with the SK-1 service manual, to try to understand the big picture of what is going on, and which analog parts I might work on modeling. Pages 5, 8, and 9 of the service manual will be particularly relevant to what I'm about to discuss, I'll include scans of them with a few of my notes. My understanding of the signal flow of the analog portion of the circuit (the right half of the block diagram on Page 5) is that it comprises four parts.
1. The envelope/pitch mixing circuits (Page 8)...
...which each (there are 4) take in a "pitch signal" and "envelope signal," and combine them together. It looks like there could be all sorts of interesting stuff happening here, transistors T15 and T16 are working as a kind of two-quadrant multiplier, T17 "mixes" the two signals into a "sound signal", and the resistor and capacitor on the output ("to filter circuit") form a high-pass filter. The diodes and transistors could have some non-linear behavior, and the circuit in general seems to do something more interesting than merely multiplying a signal by an envelope.
Page 8 shows 3 example signals, what looks like an envelope (A), what looks like a signal (B), and what looks like a mix of the two (C). Interestingly, the "mix" does not seem to be a multiplication of (A) and (B) but an addition. However, (A) and (B) are not the same as the "pitch signal" and "envelope signal" that are being fed in the right side of the diagram.
To help understand this, I am brushing up on my SPICE, and building a model of this part of the circuit. Something that could help me would be a better understanding of the nature of the "pitch signal" and "envelope signal" that are being sent in. Question, have Plogue done any measurements of these, or could they otherwise advise?
2. The Change-over Circuit (Page 9)...
...which routes (with an analog switch controlled by pins KO15 and PO3 of the CPU, according to whether the keyboard is in auto-accompany mode or not, etc.) the "Melody or Bass sound signal" and "Melody or Chord sound signal" to the Bass Filter or Melody Filter and Chord Filter or Melody Filter, respectively. The "Melody or Obbligato sound signal" and "Melody sound signal" are always routed through the Melody Filter.
There could be something interesting going on in the analog switch, could be worth looking into (IC2 = TC50H4066). I'll be looking up a data sheet soon to start investigating this.
3. The Filter Circuits (Page 9)...
...which filter the Bass, Chord, and Melody portions of the signal with different filters, as well as the "Percussion sound signal" coming from the CPU (pin SC / 97 / "Analog percussion signal output" on the CPU). The Percussion, Bass, and Chord filters seem pretty simple (all resistors and capacitors), but the Melody filter has a transistor in it as well. The transistor seems to be acting as buffer or follower, again there could be some non-linear behavior worth investigating.
4. The Mixer...
.. which mixes all the signals together. There doesn't seem to be much info on this in the service manual, but an investigation of the circuit should reveal what is going on.
There is also the matter of the microphone or 1/8" jack inputs. I haven't look at this at all yet.

April 26
In class (Music 424) today, Jorge Herrera mentioned the work that David Yeh has done on analog circuit modeling. David did his thesis ("Digital Implementation of Musical Distortion Circuits by Analysis and Simulation") in 2009, and it seems very relevant to the modeling work I would like to do. I am looking forward to spending time on a close reading of David's work for next week.
May 2
Today I am reviewing my old Advanced DSP Seminar notes from first quarter. Prof. Dave Berners gave some good lectures on circuit discretization that will be helpful.
I am also going through the LTSpice tutorials. Here are the ones I went through today:
I made SPICE models of a simple passive lowpass and high pass filter to test it out (links coming soon). I also built models of the Percussion, Bass, Chord, and Melody filters of the SK-1. The first goal of building these circuits in SPICE is to understand portions of the circuit that I don't yet understand, and to confirm the behavior of parts of the circuit that I think I do understand. The percussion filter is a highpass filter, the bass and chord filters are bandpass filters (only one component varys between them, Resistors R27/28 are different values), and the melody filter is a different kind of bandpass filter.
Without taking into account non-ideal or non-linear behavior, the percussion, bass, and chord filters could be understood as linear systems (they only involve resistors and capacitors), and easily discretized (without actual circuit modeling). The transistor in the melody filter complicates it somewhat. If circuit modeling is to be employed, I need to start building a framework for accomplishing it, and do a few tests on simple circuits. I think I will try to do initial numerical models of passive lowpass and highpass filters. I also just read about some of the interesting non-linearities that capacitors may experience. The Wikipedia article explains (see "Non-ideal behavior").
Some inconsistencies in the Melody Filter circuit have popped up; page 5 (Filter Change-Over Circuit & Percussion Circuit) and page 28 (Main PCB Schematic Diagram) don't agree on a few details! The polarity of 3/4 of the capacitors is flipped, and the topology of the circuit is different. I tried to look at page 17 (PCB Top and Bottom View) to resolve this, but it is very difficult to read, and the capacitor polarity is not labelled for the capacitors I care about. I may need to resolve this discrepancy by opening up an actual SK-1...
In other chiptunes news, I just released an album of electronic music that includes some elements of chiptunes music. Perhaps it will shed some light on the reason for my interest in this research topic. Check it out: http://kurtjameswerner.bandcamp.com/

Note to self: check out linear companion model

Been working w/ pen and paper on deriving transfer functions of the filters. Once I get the linear behavior down, I can move onto thinking about trying to incorporating non-linearities. Been spending a lot of time with David Yeh's thesis, it is very helpful.
Bought an SK-1 off of eBay so I can open it up and examine the circuit (to reconcile the discrepancy in the melody filter circuit), and conduct a few of my own tests. The SK-1 I own already has been circuit bent... so I don't want to open it up for fear of damaging it, and the circuit behavior has been irrevocably changed!
May 14
I've finished a draft of my write-up on the Percussion Filter. It's long (13 pages), read at your peril. I'm moving on to developing transfer functions of the Chord and Bass Filters now. The Melody Filter still seems very complicated, I'm not sure how to approach the transistor.
May 15
It's time to figure out this transistor business, so I can work on the Melody Filter and the analog input stages (mic in, line in, etc). Note to self: transistor-like devices are expressed as nonlinear voltage-controlled current sources
I've finished a draft of my write-up on the Bass and Chord Filters. It's long (23 pages), read at your peril. My VST implementation seems to have some sort of problem with the Q parameterization. If Q gets above ~4.5, the filter blows up. I'll need to look into this.
May 16
Had a good conversation with prof. Berners today about the loads on the output of my filters (R_L), and about transistors.
About the loads: So, one of the questions that was left hanging at the end of my previous write up was the value of the load on each circuit. For the first round of analysis, I have been assuming that it is appropriate to break the circuit apart into sub-circuits, and assume that they are very stiff at their outputs (that is, they are not affected by the other sub-circuits at their outputs). So, there are a few related things that need to be addressed. First, are the circuits stiff at their outputs? Do they affect one another, or can they be safely separated? Prof. Berners recommends writing up all of the filters in a SPICE model, then testing each circuit to see if it behaves in the same way under two conditions: in isolation, or in combination with the other circuits (with their own inputs held constant). I will be working on this tomorrow. If it turns out it is appropriate to treat the circuits as independent, it is necessary to find out an appropriate value for the load resistors (they will be removed if the circuits are actually connected).
About the transistors: Transistors are very complicated! Dave introduced me to the Hybrid-pi model, a simple small-signal model for how transistors work. I am going to try to apply it to my analyses of the Melody Filter, the Envelope/Pitch Mixing Circuit, and the input gain stage (of the sampler, David Viens is really interested in this part of the circuit, so I'm going to try to take a look at it too, once I have time). I'm still having a hard time understanding what is going on in the Melody Filter, but hopefully just modeling it blind will work. Actually, the Envelope/Pitch Mixing Circuit is starting to make sense, after prof. Berners spent some time looking at it with me. It seems to be a sort of differential transistor amplifier (the two transistors hooked together) and a follower. I am going to do a write-up on this, because even though I am starting to understand it conceptually, I need to actually develop some equations. Doing a write-up on this will be my next project (along with figuring out if the filters can be separated).
May 17
Briefly presented what I'm working on in class today. Francois pointed out that the differential transistor amplifier that has me somewhat stumped is just like the one in the famous Moog Ladder filter. A lot of work has been done on digital models of this famous filter, prof. Chafe and Francois specifically mentioned work by Tim Stilson and prof. Julius Smith. A quick google search reveals a lot of published work. Thanks, guys!
[1] a paper by prof. Smith and Tim Stilson, [2] Tim Stinchcomb has collected a lot of links
I will read up on these papers, hopefully that will help me understand the differential transistor amplifier and thus, the Envelope / Pitch Mixing Circuit.
May 18
The SK-1 came in the mail. It powered up fine and appears to be working. Now I will be able to do some measurements once it is necessary, especially figuring out the nature of the signals going into the Envelope / Pitch Mixing Circuit.
May 21
After a long weekend of Maker Faire-ing, it's time to get back to work! On the TO DO list for today: reading up and possibly starting some modeling of the differential transistor amplifier portion of the Pitch / Envelope mixing circuit, and determining whether or not it is appropriate to separate all of the filters into sub-circuits, and if so, what the output load on each should be.
Tim Stinchcombe's own paper on the Moog adder Filter has a very helpful treatment of the differential (long-tailed) transistor pair, I have adapted his treatment to get some equations describing the differential pair sub circuit within the Pitch / Envelope Mixing Circuit. Now, it will be necessary to find equations for the voltage at the bases of transistors T15 and T16 (corresponding to V1 and V2 in Tim's treatment). This will come from an analysis of the resistor-capacitor network that takes the Pitch Signal as its input. Hopefully, my analysis of the Percussion filter will be helpful here - the circuits look very similar, and I should be able to adapt my analysis. Also, an equation for the current from the collector to the emitter of transistor T17 ("I" in Tim's treatment) is needed. I'll need to figure out a transfer function for the sub-circuit with all the diodes that takes the Envelope Signal as its input.
May 22
It seems like the Envelope Signal may not exactly look like an envelope, but like a an envelope multiplied by a waveform. Possibly controlling the spectrum, since it is multiplied by the Pitch Signal (a sine wave?). Doing some sort of wave shaping or AM (Amplitude Modulation, at audio rates). It appears to have the same fundamental frequency as the Pitch Signal!
Reading up on diodes... old UIUC course notes, and [3].

Transcript: President Obama's Address To The Nation On Syria
Text of President Obama's Sept. 10, 2013, speech on Syria, as provided by the Associated Press. Source: Federal News Service
My fellow Americans, tonight I want to talk to you about Syria, why it matters and where we go from here. Over the past two years, what began as a series of peaceful protests against the repressive regime of Bashar al-Assad has turned into a brutal civil war. Over a hundred thousand people have been killed. Millions have fled the country. In that time, America has worked with allies to provide humanitarian support, to help the moderate opposition and to shape a political settlement.
But I have resisted calls for military action because we cannot resolve someone else's civil war through force, particularly after a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The situation profoundly changed, though, on Aug. 21st, when Assad's government gassed to death over a thousand people, including hundreds of children. The images from this massacre are sickening, men, women, children lying in rows, killed by poison gas, others foaming at the mouth, gasping for breath, a father clutching his dead children, imploring them to get up and walk. On that terrible night, the world saw in gruesome detail the terrible nature of chemical weapons and why the overwhelming majority of humanity has declared them off limits, a crime against humanity and a violation of the laws of war.
This was not always the case. In World War I, American GIs were among the many thousands killed by deadly gas in the trenches of Europe. In World War II, the Nazis used gas to inflict the horror of the Holocaust. Because these weapons can kill on a mass scale, with no distinction between soldier and infant, the civilized world has spent a century working to ban them. And in 1997, the United States Senate overwhelmingly approved an international agreement prohibiting the use of chemical weapons, now joined by 189 governments that represent 98 percent of humanity.
On Aug. 21st, these basic rules were violated, along with our sense of common humanity.
No one disputes that chemical weapons were used in Syria. The world saw thousands of videos, cellphone pictures and social media accounts from the attack. And humanitarian organizations told stories of hospitals packed with people who had symptoms of poison gas.
Moreover, we know the Assad regime was responsible. In the days leading up to Aug. 21st, we know that Assad's chemical weapons personnel prepared for an attack near an area they where they mix sarin gas. They distributed gas masks to their troops. Then they fired rockets from a regime-controlled area into 11 neighborhoods that the regime has been trying to wipe clear of opposition forces.
Shortly after those rockets landed, the gas spread, and hospitals filled with the dying and the wounded. We know senior figures in Assad's military machine reviewed the results of the attack. And the regime increased their shelling of the same neighborhoods in the days that followed. We've also studied samples of blood and hair from people at the site that tested positive for sarin.
When dictators commit atrocities, they depend upon the world to look the other way until those horrifying pictures fade from memory. But these things happened. The facts cannot be denied.
The question now is what the United States of America and the international community is prepared to do about it, because what happened to those people, to those children, is not only a violation of international law, it's also a danger to our security.
Let me explain why. If we fail to act, the Assad regime will see no reason to stop using chemical weapons.
As the ban against these weapons erodes, other tyrants will have no reason to think twice about acquiring poison gas and using them. Over time our troops would again face the prospect of chemical warfare on the battlefield, and it could be easier for terrorist organizations to obtain these weapons and to use them to attack civilians.
If fighting spills beyond Syria's borders, these weapons could threaten allies like Turkey, Jordan and Israel.
And a failure to stand against the use of chemical weapons would weaken prohibitions against other weapons of mass destruction and embolden Assad's ally, Iran, which must decide whether to ignore international law by building a nuclear weapon or to take a more peaceful path.
This is not a world we should accept. This is what's at stake. And that is why, after careful deliberation, I determined that it is in the national security interests of the United States to respond to the Assad regime's use of chemical weapons through a targeted military strike. The purpose of this strike would be to deter Assad from using chemical weapons, to degrade his regime's ability to use them and to make clear to the world that we will not tolerate their use. That's my judgment as commander in chief.
But I'm also the president of the world's oldest constitutional democracy. So even though I possessed the authority to order military strikes, I believed it was right, in the absence of a direct or imminent threat to our security, to take this debate to Congress. I believe our democracy is stronger when the president acts with the support of Congress, and I believe that America acts more effectively abroad when we stand together.
This is especially true after a decade that put more and more war-making power in the hands of the president, and more and more burdens on the shoulders of our troops, while sidelining the people's representatives from the critical decisions about when we use force.
Now, I know that after the terrible toll of Iraq and Afghanistan, the idea of any military action, no matter how limited, is not going to be popular. After all, I've spent four and a half years working to end wars, not to start them. Our troops are out of Iraq, our troops are coming home from Afghanistan, and I know Americans want all of us in Washington, especially me, to concentrate on the task of building our nation here at home, putting people back to work, educating our kids, growing our middle class. It's no wonder, then, that you're asking hard questions. So let me answer some of the most important questions that I've heard from members of Congress and that I've read in letters that you've sent to me.
First, many of you have asked: Won't this put us on a slippery slope to another war? One man wrote to me that we are still recovering from our involvement in Iraq. A veteran put it more bluntly: This nation is sick and tired of war.
My answer is simple. I will not put American boots on the ground in Syria. I will not pursue an open-ended action like Iraq or Afghanistan. I will not pursue a prolonged air campaign like Libya or Kosovo. This would be a targeted strike to achieve a clear objective: deterring the use of chemical weapons and degrading Assad's capabilities.
Others have asked whether it's worth acting if we don't take out Assad. As some members of Congress have said, there's no point in simply doing a pinprick strike in Syria.
Let me make something clear: The United States military doesn't do pinpricks.
Even a limited strike will send a message to Assad that no other nation can deliver. I don't think we should remove another dictator with force. We learned from Iraq that doing so makes us responsible for all that comes next. But a targeted strike can make Assad or any other dictator think twice before using chemical weapons.
Other questions involve the dangers of retaliation. We don't dismiss any threats, but the Assad regime does not have the ability to seriously threaten our military. Any other — any other retaliation they might seek is in line with threats that we face every day. Neither Assad nor his allies have any interest in escalation that would lead to his demise. And our ally Israel can defend itself with overwhelming force, as well as the unshakable support of the United States of America.
Many of you have asked a broader question: Why should we get involved at all in a place that's so complicated and where, as one person wrote to me, those who come after Assad may be enemies of human rights? It's true that some of Assad's opponents are extremists. But al-Qaida will only draw strength in a more chaotic Syria if people there see the world doing nothing to prevent innocent civilians from being gassed to death. The majority of the Syrian people and the Syrian opposition we work with just want to live in peace, with dignity and freedom. And the day after any military action, we would redouble our efforts to achieve a political solution that strengthens those who reject the forces of tyranny and extremism.
Finally, many of you have asked, why not leave this to other countries or seek solutions short of force?
And several people wrote to me, we should not be the world's policeman. I agree. And I have a deeply held preference for peaceful solutions. Over the last two years my administration has tried diplomacy and sanctions, warnings and negotiations. But chemical weapons were still used by the Assad regime.
However, over the last few days we've seen some encouraging signs in part because of the credible threat of U.S. military action as well as constructive talks that I had with President Putin. The Russian government has indicated a willingness to join with the international community in pushing Assad to give up his chemical weapons. The Assad regime has now admitted that it has these weapons and even said they'd join the chemical weapons convention, which prohibits their use.
It's too early to tell whether this offer will succeed, and any agreement must verify that the Assad regime keeps its commitments. But this initiative has the potential to remove the threat of chemical weapons without the use of force, particularly because Russia is one of Assad's strongest allies.
I have therefore asked the leaders of Congress to postpone a vote to authorize the use of force while we pursue this diplomatic path. I'm sending Secretary of State John Kerry to meet his Russian counterpart on Thursday, and I will continue my own discussions with President Putin. I've spoken to the leaders of two of our closest allies, France and the United Kingdom. And we will work together in consultation with Russia and China to put forward a resolution at the U.N. Security Council requiring Assad to give up his chemical weapons and to ultimately destroy them under international control.
We'll also give U.N. inspectors the opportunity to report their findings about what happened on Aug. 21st. And we will continue to rally support from allies, from Europe to the Americas, from Asia to the Middle East who agree on the need for action.
Meanwhile, I've ordered our military to maintain their current posture, to keep the pressure on Assad and to be in a position to respond if diplomacy fails. And tonight I give thanks again to our military and their families for their incredible strength and sacrifices.
My fellow Americans, for nearly seven decades the United States has been the anchor of global security. This has meant doing more than forging international agreements. It has meant enforcing them. The burdens of leadership are often heavy, but the world's a better place because we have borne them.
And so to my friends on the right, I ask you to reconcile your commitment to America's military might with a failure to act when a cause is so plainly just.
To my friends on the left, I ask you to reconcile your belief in freedom and dignity for all people with those images of children writhing in pain and going still on a cold hospital floor, for sometimes resolutions and statements of condemnation are simply not enough.
Indeed, I'd ask every member of Congress, and those of you watching at home tonight, to view those videos of the attack, and then ask: What kind of world will we live in if the United States of America sees a dictator brazenly violate international law with poison gas and we choose to look the other way? Franklin Roosevelt once said our national determination to keep free of foreign wars and foreign entanglements cannot prevent us from feeling deep concern when ideals and principles that we have cherished are challenged.
Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security, are at stake in Syria, along with our leadership of a world where we seek to ensure that the worst weapons will never be used. America is not the world's policeman. Terrible things happen across the globe, and it is beyond our means to right every wrong. But when, with modest effort and risk, we can stop children from being gassed to death and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I believe we should act. That's what makes America different. That's what makes us exceptional.
With humility, but with resolve, let us never lose sight of that essential truth.
Thank you. God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.

Description (Google Books):
Before Liz Lemon, before "Weekend Update," before "Sarah Palin," Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV.
She has seen both these dreams come true.
At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon -- from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence.
Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've all suspected: you're no one until someone calls you bossy. ("Includes Special, Never-Before-Solicited Opinions on Breastfeeding, Princesses, Photoshop, the Electoral Process, and Italian Rum Cake!)"
Recommended by:
Special Notes: I have never been a fan of Saturday Night Live and I do not watch 30 Rock, but I do like Tina Fey. Who wouldn't be up for a little humor with some real life mixed in?!?

Select parts of the holy Bible, for the use of the negro slaves, in the British West-India islands
Law and Gilbert, 1807
The bible itself is an edited edition of the King James Bible - there is no extra material in the Bible, just redacted passages. This version of the Bible excludes 90 percent of the Old Testament as well as 50 percent of the New Testament. Absent are all of the Psalms, that talk about hope for God's liberation from oppression, as well as the entire Book of Revelation.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Lauren Grey didn't think much about the gender recorded on her Illinois driver's license until she went to test-drive a new car. Although she had been living as a woman for months and easily obtained a license with her new name and a picture reflecting her feminine appearance, Grey's ID still identified her as male, puzzling the salesmen and prompting uncomfortable questions.
"They are like, 'This doesn't match.' Then you have to go into the story: 'I was born male, but now I'm not,'" said Grey, 38, a graphic designer living in suburban Chicago. "And they are like, 'What does that mean?' It was super embarrassing." Similarly awkward conversations ensued when she tried to rent an apartment, went to bars or was taken out of airport security lines for inspection.
Most U.S. residents don't think twice about the gender printed on their government-issued documents. But those "M'' or "F'' markers — and the legal and administrative prerequisites for switching them on passports, birth certificates and other forms of identification — are a source of anxiety and, even, discrimination for transgender individuals.
The rules vary from state to state, agency to agency and even clerk to clerk. But a transgender applicant generally has been required to submit both a court order approving the gender change and a letter from a surgeon certifying that the person underwent irreversible sex reassignment surgery before obtaining a new document.
Over the last few years, though, the emerging movement for transgender rights has been quietly pressing the issue, persuading state lawmakers and federal and state agencies to simplify the lengthy and often costly process. Advocates recorded their latest victory Friday, when the Social Security Administration announced that it would no longer require proof of surgery to alter the gender identification of individuals in its computers and records.
The move mirrors similar actions by the U.S. State Department, which amended its passport application policies three years ago to do away with the sex reassignment surgery requirement, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which last year did the same for green cards, work permits and other documents it issues.
"Most people may not see this as a big deal, but transgender people know that this seemingly small technical change will protect their privacy and give them more control over their own lives," Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, said. "Since 9/11, it's become ... incredibly important to have accurate and consistent identification. Without it, you can't open a bank account, you can't use a credit card, you can't apply for a loan, you can't get a job, you can't vote, you can't get insurance."
As a result of lawsuits and lobbying, about half of U.S. states — most recently Illinois, Alaska, Virginia and Idaho — now allow residents to revise the gender designations on their driver's licenses without first undergoing surgery or getting a judge's approval. Applicants instead must provide a letter from a health professional stating they have received counseling, hormone therapy or another form of gender-transition treatment.
Holding mismatched identification also exposes transgender people to the threat of discrimination or violence, advocates say. A 2008 survey of 6,450 transgender people conducted by the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force found that 40 percent of respondents had been harassed after presenting an ID that conflicted with how they looked. Three percent reported being attacked, and 15 percent said they had been refused service.
State motor vehicle and vital records departments do not keep count of the number of people who seek to amend the gender markers on driver's licenses and birth certificates each year. The Williams Institute, a UCLA-based think tank, estimates that 0.3 percent of the adult population in the United States identifies as transgender, or about 698,000 people.
The trend toward making it easier to update such information reflects not only the community's growing visibility but evolving ideas about what it means to be transgender. While sex reassignment surgery used to be the benchmark for when a person had fully transitioned to the opposite sex, doctors and psychologists now recognize that not every patient wants to be surgically transformed, or can afford the surgery.
"The gender-change process that was used in many states for identity documents was established in the 1970s, and our understanding of who trans people are ... has evolved over time," said Masen Davis, executive director of the Transgender Law Center. "What you see happening today is a reflection of that reality."
Meanwhile, acquiring a new birth certificate still requires proof of surgery in all but three states: Washington, California and Vermont, according to research by Lisa Mottet, director of the Transgender Rights Project at the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. Twenty-four states amend existing birth certificates instead of issuing new ones, a practice that advocates say violates the privacy of transgender people who could be "outed" when they need to show documents that still reflect their biological gender. Another three states, Idaho, Tennessee and Ohio, will not change the gender on a birth certificate under any circumstances.
In California, which in 1977 became the first state to allow transsexuals to secure new birth certificates once they had undergone surgery, streamlining the procedures has been a multi-year endeavor. Supporters persuaded the Legislature in 2011 to eliminate the surgery requirement. This year, they are trying to create an administrative process that would allow a new birth certificate to be issued without a court order or legal notice in a local newspaper.
Assemblyman Don Wagner voted against both bills, along with many of his fellow Republicans. Wagner says that although he empathizes with people who find the system cumbersome or cost-prohibitive, he is concerned that eliminating long-standing hurdles creates opportunities for identity fraud.
"There should be substantial evidence to make the change, and I feel these bills perhaps lessen that standard," he said.
Mottet thinks that worries about identity fraud are unwarranted.
"There is no financial incentive or social incentive to have on your documents a gender that doesn't match who you are. If John Johnson has a criminal record, it doesn't help him to have a driver's license or birth certificate listing him as female," she said.
Ben Hudson, the director of a Sacramento health clinic that provides treatment vertification for transgender people seeking to update their IDs, said a bigger problem is transgender people receiving outdated instructions from employees charged with processing their paperwork. Just last week, he heard from a client who had gone to the local Social Security office to apply for a card showing her new name. The clerk told her — wrongly — that she needed proof of surgery.
"She had the gumption to ask for a manger. But can you imagine how it adds to your anxiety and depression to be turned away after you worked up the nerve to go into that office and tell your story?" Hudson said. "A lot of transgender people are going to want to just tuck tail and run."
