Baby rates no gender

A CANADIAN baby has been issued a health card without a gender marker, in what could be the first case in the world.

Parent Kori Doty, a non-binary transgender person who identifies as neither male nor female, aims to allow the eightmonth-old to discover their own gender.

The health card has been issued with a “U” in the space for “sex”, which could be for “undetermined” or “unassigned”.

Doty wants to omit the gender from the birth certificate.

The parent gave birth to Searyl Atli in November at a friend’s home.
