Third gender option
 
Third gender option planned for Canadian passports

Human rights legislation being considered in Canada has triggered an overhaul of gender identity policies within its federal government, passport office not excluded.

Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould on Thursday said Canada intends to offer travelers another option for gender on their passports in addition to male and female.

At least seven countries currently allow citizens to choose a non-binary option on their passports, and a human rights bill being weighed in Ottawa, C-16, would establish gender protections poised to make Canada the eighth.
The possibility of offering a third-option for gender on Canadian passports was weighed after C-16 was introduced last May and emerged again Thursday before Canada’s Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs.
“What is going to be written in a passport? What kind of checks should be made before the passport is delivered?” Conservative Sen. Jean-Guy Dagenais asked the justice minister, The Toronto Star reported.

“Without question … we have work to do,” Ms. Wilson-Raybould responded. “Simply ticking a box of male or female doesn’t accord with the intent that is in Bill C-16.”

Insane.

They're coming over into Quebec by droves.

Some nutcase even built a little bridge for them to walk over to be safe.
