What better proof that the law is an ass than baby Lilah’s case (‘We were horrified’: parents heartbroken as baby girl registered as male, 19 November). She was mistakenly registered as a boy and cannot be legally re-registered as a girl, although the mistake was discovered minutes after it was made by the register office.

• It’s not just disabled museum employees who need seats – many elderly people need them too (Security guard sues Science Museum for allegedly denying suitable chair, 17 November). I often have to forgo or cut short visits to museums and galleries through exhaustion and pain. Why don’t they provide fold-down stools that can be carried by visitors? I have used these in museums abroad.
