The Home Office is to be challenged to provide gender-neutral, or “X”, passports to UK citizens at a high court hearing this week. Australia, Denmark, Germany, Malta, New Zealand, Pakistan, India, Ireland and Nepal already have a third category besides male and female. Since July more than 40 MPs have signed an early day motion in favour of gender-neutral passports. Elan-Cane argues the government is discriminating against its own citizens as it allows holders of foreign X passports to enter the country at border checks. The permission hearing is expected to be held in the administrative division of the high court in London on Wednesday.
