Transgender Canadians can now self-identify on citizenship documents without sex-reassignment surgery

"Canadians no longer need to undergo sex-reassignment surgery in order to change the gender marker on their citizenship certificate under new reforms from Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

As of February, those wishing to change their gender on the certificate need only now submit provincially or territorially-issued documentation such as amended birth certificate."

That's interesting! I'm surprised they actually allow that!

Do you think they'd accept no gender or both? :P
