"Quinn Nelson wants to be counted in the 2016 long-form census, but when it comes to the question of gender identity there's a problem: Nelson is transgender and identifies as neither male nor female.
"As a non-binary person, often when I fill out forms there's only two options given to me and that's not enough for me," Nelson said in an interview on CBC's Power & Politics."
