Stop with the gender leave things the way they are!!

I do strongly believe that gender needs to be on birth certificates. I have bo promlem with children being allowed to play with toys they chose to play with. Or whatever dress up costumes they chose to wear. I totally do not support the gender bender ideas that a child is an “IT” until “IT” decides own gender identity. I also disagree with identity intervention by hormone therapy or surgery for children. I was a Tomboy and played at being a boy, for a brief period during my childhood, I thought boys had a better deal becsuse they did not have to bother with the same puberty issues as girls did. I am so glad I was born in 1950! There are adults who have had parents who have allowed their children gender bendering who later were so traumatised when they realise what was done to them.

No no no. All for the minority. Wouldn’t there be less transgender clanging their birth certificate after a sex change, then there would be people changing them to specify the sex they were born as? Seems either way it goes, someone will be wanting a change, so why not leave it as it is and let the minority change their certificates if and when required

I can’t help but wonder if it would make it harder getting documents later in life. It may confuse children too.

WHY? we are born either male or female. If we wish to change later on then I’m okay with them getting an amended birth certificate then.

  Exactly! Sex is a physical characteristic – gender now seems to be a social norm.

I don’t agree with this, it’s taking things to far. You are born with a penis or vagina, boy or girl. Your choice as you grow but people are one gender at birth.

Why are they removing it? Because the minority would prefer it? If you would prefer not to complete it, or for it to include a third option, fine. But why remove it? Why??

Yes I do, things are getting too far fetched these days.

I’m not sure on this one either .

When will one realise that one may mutilate their body and dress to the other gender, but one cannot change your biological gender. XX and XY. Sure there is a very small percentage of births where one cannot be identified as either and perhaps this could be the reason for registering as “other’ or “unidentifiable” allowing parents to decide at a later date.

Oh my gosh! I don’t see the point when the gender will still be recorded at the hospital etc. I think transgender people have many more obstacles to worry about other then the word male or female on their birth certificate. And the public should most definitely be informed of any plans to change

Crazy stuff… leave the gender on the birth certificate. Again minority ruling things for the majority.

Things seem to be going a little crazy. Why do we need to remove gender from birth certificates?

I don’t understand why they need to remove gender from birth certificates.

For purposes of identification surely a birth certificate does need gender?

  Communities do need to be consulted and such changes surely need to be nationwide?

This makes no sense to me. You are born with a gender, why not allow people the option to change later in life if they need to?

Strange concept for sure.

this is an interesting concept. im not sure.

Really thinking about it, there’s no real purpose for having a gender on a birth certificate. I’m not convinced it does need to be there.

I don’t see the need to take away the gender on the birth certificate. We’re born male / female indeed. Ok if people want to change their gender and have it changed.
