Since then, thousands of records have been altered. Recent freedom of information requests showed that, over the past five years, at least 3,188 passport sex records have been changed to show a sex different from that on the birth certificate. Over the past six years, at least 15,481 driving licence sex records have been changed to show a different sex. This can be done on request—sometimes, but not always, with a doctor’s note stating that the person wishes to live permanently as if they were of the opposite sex. The organisation Sex Matters has told me that some people have one sex on their passport and another on their driver’s licence.
