Ontario to make driver's licence gender neutral


Ontario will also launch public consultations this summer to develop policies on how the government collects, uses and displays sex and gender information on government forms and products. Ontario is introducing gender-neutral driver's licences and health cards. The 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." Beginning in early 2017, drivers will be able to select X, instead of an M for male or F for female, for their licences. This month the province started issuing health cards that no longer display information about a person's sex on the front of the card.
