SEX AND GENDER EDUCATION (SAGE) AUSTRALIA This petition is to support Conor Montgomery’s right to have his birth certificate changed to male from female. We understand he is taking testosterone and had ‘top’ surgery, but is medically unable to have ‘bottom’ surgery. The dept of Births, Deaths and Marriages have refused to alter his birth certificate as requested to reflect his lived male identity. We support his right to have the simple administrative change made to appropriately reflect the reality of his life circumstances.

Reaching this point in our campaign feels like a heavy weight lifting, even if the road ahead is still long and exhausting. It is clear that people see the inherent fairness in Conor's request and refuse to look away. I am tired, but seeing this momentum grow makes the struggle feel less isolating.

Total incompetence by the department. He's been through enough. Just let him be himself.

This is just basic human dignity. Let him live his life without this bureaucracy hanging over his head.

I work in admin and this is just pointless red tape. Update the records and move on.

Imagine having to fight the BDM just to exist. He has clearly done everything he can. Let him have his certificate changed!

Ridiculous that the government thinks they know better than his own doctors. Sort this out already.
