If she meets the medical and legal requirements to alter her birth certificate defiantly yes.
Madness.
To reply to your previous statement that births deaths and marriages should be updated it was over ten years ago which enabled me to be granted my correct birth certificate.
I don't know if anything has changed since then, but this thread is about the census and persons being able to identify as 'other' for sex/gender.
Can you hold a passport which says female and a birth certificate that says male? Is that possible? It should be.
I asked you previously what do you believe defines a man or a woman?
You asked me with a post edit.
Male: XY chromosomes, male reproductive organs
Female: XX chromosomes, female reproductive organs
Passports and birth certificates identify people by sex as male or female. Drivers licenses don't include that information. The blurred lines between sex and gender shouldn't really come into the debate if a third category is provided.
In your case, you were born a man, identified as a woman and had gender reassignment surgery. Would have you have used a third 'other' category prior to becoming a woman?
