Gender change on passport

The request was refused by HM Passport Office.

Dear HM Passport Office,

Please could you supply me with a breakdown of the number of passports issued with a change of gender?

Please supply the information by sex (male to female and female to male); by year of application and by reason (GRA, new birth or adoption certificate showing acquired gender, letter from a doctor or medical consultant confirming change of gender is likely to be permanent).

Yours faithfully,
Linda Walker
