Dear SDO Official Correspondence,
I would like the number of birth certificates where the sex marker was changed during the specified period. If a breakdown of those changes can be provided, as in M to F, F to M and M and F to non-binary, that would also be helpful.
Yours sincerely,
John Palethorpe
