    Sounds like they need to update their system.

    Oh definitely. Desperately.

    Maybe it’s just me, but in the digital age I don’t think there’s an excuse for systems like this to be too difficult to change. Heck, if you designed it like an idiot, then you deserve to pay the costs to fix it.

    Thing is. I don’t even think it would be that difficult to change. It’s not like it’s the first time we’ve ever had newer versions of forms. And the change isn’t even drastic, just de-gender the terms. Partner 1 and Partner 2, Parent 1 and Parent 2.

    One of the simple benefits of the paper-based way Japan tends to favour is that it can be updated and overriden by the person performing the process.
