If you are in Ontario you can change your gender by fiat

All you need is a note from your psychologist – and most of them are daft enough to give you one – and, hey presto, your sex changes.

There is no mention of a limit on how many times you can switch, so gender could become a fashion accessory to be adjusted as whim dictates.

From here:

Transgender people in Ontario can now amend their gender on their birth certificates without first having to undergo gender confirmation surgery.

Ontario is the first province in Canada to scrap the requirement, a move that has been hailed as an important victory for the transgender community.

New rules that have now come into force allow transgender people born in the Canadian province to apply to have their documents amended by submitting a letter from a doctor or a psychologist.

  1. The change in birth certificate before surgery will be reflected on other documents like driver’s license. It could make for some very interesting traffic stops.

    Just how big is the transgendered community anyway? Less than 1% I would guess. But we cave to the alphabets again.

  2. Won’t they allow Japanese cars or even American ones?
    Oops! That was “fiat” with a lower case initial letter wasn’t it?
