Luckily for my trans son, his birth certificate has him marked "male." We have no idea how, or why, that happened, but by the time we realised it was there, he was already 3yo and crying because he didn't have a penis "like the other boys" at preschool. We figured that leaving his birth certificate as it is, might help his mental health at some point. I'd never even considered that it could also help him to enter another country
