The 2004 Gender Recognition Act was the legislation that introduced the ability to change legal sex. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_Recognition_Act_2004 Prior to that, the only permitted reason for changing sex on a birth certificate was to correct an error, under the The Births and Deaths Registration Act 1953. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/771468/VSC_Technical_Paper_Web_Accessible.pdf
