'We were horrified': parents heartbroken as baby girl registered as male
A newborn baby girl will have to go through life with the wrong s*x on her birth certificate after a registrar's error, which her parents have been told they cannot change.
Grace Bingham and her partner, Ewan Murray, were excited to register their first child at the Sutton-in-Ashfield Registration Office in Nottinghamshire last week. But, after nights of broken sleep, they failed to notice the registrar had written the wrong s*x on the birth certificate until after it had been submitted.
"We were horrified but assumed that, as we saw the mistake just a few seconds after it had happened, correcting it would be an easy matter," said Murray. "But although the registrar apologised for her mistake – and the area manager also apologised – it turns out that birth certificates can't be changed."

The General Register Office (GRO), which is responsible for administering all civil registration in England and Wales, and the Home Office have both confirmed that Lilah's birth certificate cannot be reissued, although an amendment can be made in the margin of the original document.
But Bingham said this is not enough. "People reading a birth certificate might easily miss a tiny note in the margin – which means that Lilah could be regarded as male when she applies for school, her passport, for jobs – for everything that she needs a full birth certificate for."
"Even if people do notice the correction, they'll assume our daughter is transgender – which isn't an issue if that's what she wants to be when she's older, but it's not the case now," she added.
"Lilah might also not believe she was born a girl, but that there was a strange, biological thing that went on when she was born," Bingham said. "I just feel so guilty. I'm in tears all the time. I'm completely torn up over it."
The family complained to the GRO but was told the mistake was their responsibility and could not be fully rectified.
"The duty to ensure that information recorded in any particular entry is true is the responsibility of the person providing the information and not of the registrar general or the registrar recording the birth," the GRO said.
"By law, a full certificate must be an exact duplicate of the registration to which it relates.

someone tag
s, who are to blame for this mistake being unfixable. no one cared about 
s when they kept to themselves. when they started demanding access to children and womens spaces and special treatment, people started to push back and made rules like this about birth certificates. CHECK MATE, ANTI-SCIENCE ATHEIST.

It's no big deal. If you raise a child by the wrong gender, you can still get as many as 38 years before they rope themselves:

The clockiest trans women I have ever seen were having a fricking fantastic time dressing like uwu femboy sluts and making out in hallways and I realized that I'm fricking making myself miserable for no reason by being "self aware" or whatever bullshit you fricks have convinced me to be.
"Oh I have to dress modest and look like my peers and appear respectable at all times or else a 48 year old British woman might post about me on Mumsnet." Okay, two stubbly trans girls dressed as otters are giving each other hickeys in their hotel rooms and walking around with huge smiles like Jesus Christ himself appeared before them.
Literal stripey socked catgirls everywhere. And all of them looked happier than me. None of them were self conscious about their lack of voice training. None of them seemed like they had even considered their shoulder-to-waist ratio. None of them looked like they even knew what an "AGP Ogrehon" even is.
And you know what? The stripey socked stubbly catgirls never got misgendered by anyone there. You know who did the entire time? This fricking
who thought it would make me look more like a "real girl" to dress in a girl-cut tee shirt and demin shorts.
Why the frick did I let you freaks turn me into this?
I have got to get dumber. I have got to get cringier. I have got to become a reddit-pilled uwu hornyposting hon. I have got to unironically own a blahaj. If you never see me again, it's because I became a mod of egg_irl.
You're all so hecking valid. I hope you all remember to apply your boygels and eat your titty skittles or whatever.
