    It seems reasonable to me, becoming transgender later in life doesn’t change the official information recorded about you at your birth.

      Then why do we allow people to change this official information later in life when they change their name, or to add/remove parents?

        For parents if the information recorded at the time was not accurate and needs to be amended that’s fine by me. I don’t support names being changed on a birth certificate.

      How does people changing their gender on a piece of paper affect you? It matters to them, why does it matter to you?
