Allow trans men to be father on their childrens birth certificate

What the petition asks
Change the law to allow trans men to be written as father not mother at time of registration and change it at a later date.
Because its unfair that trans fathers have to keep correcting and explaining themselves to everyone that sees them listed as mother. It's deeply upsetting to have to expose yourself as trans and explain personal details about yourself.
