Ok? I’m not saying not to do it for them, it is a legitimate case in that it couldn’t be determined at birth or the person, as a result of the ambiguousness, can choose to be either and the initial document was wrong.
I’m saying that if I want to transition tomorrow I shouldn’t change my cert, I’ve lived my life as I am now and while I want to change going forward I can’t and shouldn’t change the past.
If you read my other comments you’d see that my view is exactly the same for changing your name.
As for women changing theirs, there is an additional document created and registered to reflect that change so you can trace the birth name to the marriage name and onward from there.
It is literally changing our recording of history, it doesn’t matter right now but in the future we may rely on accurate records for something and having a practice wherein you can change the details recorded for a past event is not going to help that
