Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Canadian baby given health card without sex designation
Gender is usually determined by sex, which is easily found by a genital inspection. It is stated in the birth certificate or health document, depending on the administrative body, based on the application made by the baby’s parent. But what happens if the parent refuses to identify the gender of the baby?
This is what happened in British Columbia, Canada. It seems too controversial that it took some time for the provincial ministry of health to issue a health card for the baby. In the card, the sex is listed as "U” instead of “M” or “F”. The parent believes that the baby is the first to be registered without sex or gender being specified in Canada. He wants his child to decide his, her or else’s gender when he, she or else is ready.
In the meantime, he gave the baby a name, Searyl.
Enjoy reading the text and think which or both you want to choose yourself, your gender or/and name.
