We have been contacted by a student who has changed sex and requests that
they be registered as the new sex on our data base. If we do not change
this person's sex does that mean our records are not accurate? We can mail
this student and not include a title and so avoid a Mr or Ms situation. My
understanding was that legally a person is always the sex that they were
registered at birth. Advice please.
