Christin Milloy: Government and Trans Activist

christin milloy: The government agreed to give Canadians a third choice on applications, neither female nor male, according to Guelph Mercury. Christin Milloy, the trans activist behind the complaint, said the government's own words set the stage for the all government identification documents to become gender-neutral. The admission came as part of a human rights settlement this month over the use of sex and gender in issuing social insurance numbers. It bolsters the case for those people who are challenging in other provinces and the federal government the presence of sex and gender on ID because every single one of those cases will refer to this settlement, to this statement that's been made. The department's policy of using the sex designation at birth discriminated against transgender persons, the complaint argued. Milloy and the federal government settled a long-running human rights complaint earlier this month after the Liberals agreed the federal government doesn't always need to know someone's sex or gender before handing out a social insurance number.
