Almost all newborn babies have a gender. If they have a penis they are male, if they have a vagina they are female. These are physical facts and should never be able to be changed. This is what is recorded on a birth certificate and shows how they started their life, regardless of their mental state at a later date.

If someone wants to 'legally' become a member of the opposite sex, a man should have his penis and testicles removed and a vagina created by plastic surgery. But even if this were to be done, it should not change the wording on his birth certificate. The clue is in the wording 'BIRTH' certificate.

Allowing this, to my mind would be the same as if If someone who sincerely believed they were actually a dog or a cat or some other animal, could alter their birth certificate accordingly.
