Accepting the craziness

CBC News:

Ontario's decision to issue gender-neutral health cards is making it more difficult for some of the province's residents to get a passport, since the federal government wasn't consulted on the switch.

Hamilton native Rachael Bestard found that out the hard way when she applied for a passport this week. 

For passport applications, the federal government requires a photo I.D. that identifies the gender of the person. Well, the dumb province of Ontario removed the gender portion of the I.D. from their health cards. Result: massive headaches.

It's time to virtue signal:

The province's Liberal government said it is making the changes "to ensure the fair, ethical and equitable treatment of people with trans and non-binary gender identity."

Bestard maintains this is a positive step for non-binary people, and one that she has absolutely no problem with. "I do understand the nuances of the LGBTQ community, and the challenges they face," she said.

Sigh.
