Well then whats the problem with creating a new document, but keeping the old one? you brought up the problem of people switching back and forth, but that is such a small number, its not like theres going to be epidemic levels of new birth certificates being made

I'm probably going to stop debating on here, im just repeating myself, and its a topic, i always get so passionate about and wont end debating

Intersex as in hermaphrodites? Thats a interesting question and I really dont know..I didnt even know the parents got to chose the sex to put on the birth certificate tbh, would have thought there was a way of saying 'both' in a nicer way

The problem with creating a new one but keeping the old one is that only the new one would be used, so then the old one is pointless? Adapting the original one to say 'born male, now female, would be accurate, but I dont see how that would help, given that the apparent reaosn for changing it is so they dont remember the traumatic experience of changing :S
