Here are the human rights commission's recommendations to the government - The Sex Files, dealing with the problems of documentation that Intersexed, Transsexual, and Transgendered people face:
Recommendation 1:
Marital status should not be a relevant consideration as to whether or not a person can request a change in legal sex.
Recommendation 2:
The definition of sex affirmation treatment should be broadened so that surgery is not the only criteria for a change in legal sex.
