Quebec news doesn't get wide reporting outside of the province, but it's important that we know: trans people in Quebec got a huge win today! The superior court of QC ruled in our favour for a bunch of things:
Obliging non-binary parents to be identified as mother or father instead of "parent" was found to violate their dignity and rights.
Not allowing non-binary people to change the sex on their birth certificates was found to violate their rights and dignity.
Not allowing non-binary people to change the sex on their birth certificates was found to violate their rights and dignity.
Requiring someone to be a legal citizen in order to change their name/sex was found to violate their rights and dignity.
Barring teenagers from 14-17 from changing their names to fit their gender was found to violate their rights and dignity.
Barring teenagers from 14-17 from changing their names to fit their gender was found to violate their rights and dignity.
In addition: if your parent changes their name/sex, that'll now be reflected on certain civil forms of yours; and, you'll no longer need to declare your sex designation on civil forms.
Thank you to Concordia's Centre for Gender Advocacy for all your work in this lawsuit!
