The UK Supreme Court this week heard that people should be able to declare their gender as ‘X’ on their UK passports and that current practice in the UK, whereby individuals can only declare as male or female, is discriminatory and should be changed by the Home Office. The case was brought by Christie Elan-Cane, a non-gendered individual who identifies as per / per / perself and who called for the UK to follow the example of over a dozen countries who already offer the ‘X’ option on passports – namely Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, India, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nepal, Pakistan and Uruguay. The World has gone Mad!!
The UK Gendeless Passport
Finally!! People are allowed the freedom to choose. Perhaps confusing that there are options for “O” or “X”, though.
