cf. quoted from Fact Sheet: Same-sex couples to be able to marry (December 2000)

Amendment of birth certificate of transsexuals
At present the birth certificate of a transsexual can be amended only if he or she is single. Under the bill it is proposed that this condition should be dropped since marriage will be possible for same-sex couples. This means that a transsexual who is married can remain married and still have his or her birth certificate amended.
