Should I mention this minor error in secondaries/an update letter?

Biographic information can be edited after submission IIRC

I have fallen victim to the error of not checking my biographic information well enough in my primary!

I accidentally listed one of my parents as the opposite gender (the other parent's gender is correct). I've already submitted the primary and started receiving secondaries.

Should I bother to send a minor update email/letter about this to schools that accept such updates or answer this in the "anything else we should know" box of any application?

My gut instinct is no since it's a minor error that I could easily explain in interviews and there isn't really a reason to highlight this error, but I wanted to ask here just in case to get your opinions.

It is a minor error that, if you cannot change, is not worth updating.

Neuroticism disease is real - you can give all the advice in the world to someone and not use it for yourself.

I do this all the damn time on SDN. I ask a lot of questions, but I give even more answers lol

I saw a thread once on here where AAMC investigated a situation where someone said that their father was dead on the FAP but alive on AMCAS.

Never draw attention to a negative
