        This is one of many Truths behind SSM. Was never only about love. It was to give crap like this air time. Cant be a coincidence that all this crap happened at the same time As legalising SSM.

        What is the point of a name on the birth certificate then. Surely that is now obsolete too and highly offensive if later on they change genders

        I'm sorry but no one is gender neutral at birth. It might be a choice later in life, but so are name changes. Should the name be removed as well?

        I really don't care if Martin wanted his genitalia removed and wants to wear dresses, wear make up etc the fact is he is born male and still is male no matter how he sees himself in the mirror. If they want to change their birth certificates to transgender later as an adult Do it

        This is absurd. A baby is born male or female. End of discussion.
