If we include both trans and intersex people it gives doctors a success rate somewhere in the region of 98%, which is really rather good, well done them. But it only highlights that there does need to be a mechanism for correcting THEIR errors.

Actually if you exclude non cis people, it remains below 95% percent. You've just been ignorant to that because it doesn't affect you or someone close enough to you.

How so? What am I missing? (Genuinely asking to help me learn).

Sex is determined visually at birth and may be biologically incorrect based on someone's genetic makeup and eventual hormonal development. In other words, eyeballing sex at birth isn't as accurate as one would think and sexual development is literally on a spectrum. Also sex =/= gender.

That is the medical aspect and typically involves intersex people. While you're not wrong, I believe she was asking how that would happen for someone who isn't trans or intersex.

Thank you both for your replies, I was more interested though in who I might be omitting from my original post.

Ah, I completely missed their initial comment and thought it was in response to the post. Thanks for clearing that up.

No worries, social media is practically designed to cause that kind of thing.

I honestly didn't mean for that to come out/across so confrontational

Sorry, but birth certificate issues are fairly common. Not so much just from the medical practitioner aspect, but the bureaucracy aspect. It's one small item on one of many forms being filed while someone is in a state of medical emergency and recovery. They were just quietly corrected before.

One of my cousins was listed wrong because her mother spoke but didn't read English and was given English forms. An aunt had to file with her state because the state had mis-entered her information.
