Nearly one man a day has changed the sex marker on his birth certificate in NZ since June 2023.

In June 2023, the New Zealand birth certificate basically became a vanity document. That’s when the law which allowed anyone to change their sex marker on it to a fictitious ‘gender’ came into effect. Although same-sex couples could be recorded as parents since 2004 (naming the father has always been optional), the sex self-ID law allows any combination of ‘mother’, ‘father’, or ‘parent’ to be recorded on a baby’s birth certificate – irrespective of the parents’ actual sex - as well as allowing the sex marker on the certificate to be changed at a later date. The ‘parent’ option is for those who identify as nonbinary, and the ‘mother’ and ‘father’ options are for anyone who says they are.

Previously, changes were allowed for genuine clerical errors, or in the rare instances of those born with a disorder of sexual development (a DSD), via an error correction process with Births, Deaths, and Marriages. And, transsexuals could go through a Family Court process after they’d had medical or surgical treatment, in order to be granted permission to change their sex marker.

Then, transactivists duped enough politicians into prioritising feelings over facts, and believing that anyone should be able to easily change the sex marker on their birth certificate, based on those feelings. Making that change has become a simple matter of a statutory declaration that the person believes they’re actually the opposite sex to that which they were born, or that they’re nonbinary. Once they’ve officially created this fiction for themselves, they can then have their child’s birth certificate updated to reflect their new parental ‘gender’, if they wish to.

So, how many of these people have changed the sex recorded on their birth certificate to a ‘gender’ of their own choosing since June 2023?

The organisation Family First have done an Official Information Act (OIA) request to find out. They’ve discovered that in the last three years, 2,099 people have done this. Of that number –

• Male to female

984 were over 18 years of age

49 were between the age of 17 and 18.

37 were 15 years old and under.

• Female to male

592 were over 18 years of age.

107 were between the age of 17 and 18

42 were 15 years old and under

• Male to nonbinary

<=5 for both age groups under 18 years old, and zero older than 18

• Female to nonbinary

0 were over 18 years of age

16 were between the age of 17 and 18

7 were 15 years old or under

• Nonbinary to female

<=5 over the age of 18, and zero for both age groups under 18

So, nearly one man a day over 18 years old has changed the sex marker on his birth certificate to female during the last three years in NZ, a country with a population of less than 5.5M.

In his interview on The Platform, Bob McCoskrie, national director of Family First said that New South Wales in Australia has it even worse than New Zealand. Their population is 8.6M, and three men a day there change the sex marker on their birth certificate to female.

Back in NZ, a woman over 18 years old has changed her sex marker to male approx. every 1.84 days.

For the age group between 17 and 18, the consent of a parent or guardian is required to change the sex marker on a birth certificate. In the event of a parent not agreeing to it, a guardian can be found who will. There is no restriction on who can be deemed a guardian. Every week in NZ a parent or guardian has consented to this.

For the 15 and under age group, only parental consent can be given, and 86 parents have given that for their 15-year-olds and under to have the sex marker changed on their birth certificates. A parent, or parents, have consented to this every 1.81 weeks in NZ.

Passports also get changed, and in Family First’s press release on the above data, they state that “Approximately 1700 passports have also been changed for adults 18-plus since January 2023, and approximately 250 passports of young people.”

These numbers show that trans ideology still has a disturbing influence, aided and abetted by well-funded lobby groups. Although there are heartening reports that school kids are increasingly rejecting the ideology, there remains a significant cohort with mental and social problems who are being ‘treated’ by allowing them to believe they can change their sex, or opt out of biological sex by declaring themselves nonbinary.

There is no obligation to consider a birth certificate as proof of a person’s sex, as confirmed by the Dept of Internal Affairs, who state that “other factors can be considered over and above the registered sex listed on a birth certificate”. In other words, those factors can be what our eyes and ears tell us.

Undoubtably, there are many, many more men and women who declare themselves to be the opposite sex to that which they were born, or no sex at all, but who don’t change their birth certificates. After all, when they’ve played around with being trans for a while, and forcing numerous others to play along by various direct and indirect means, they might want to return to playing at the sex they were born. I myself have recently heard of a case where a gay man decided he was trans for a few years, but has now gone back to being a gay man.

Those who did go to the bother of changing their birth certificates can just change them back again when they change their minds about who they are. There’s no limit to the number of times they can do this. Who knew that feelings could be so changeable?
