A Canadian baby may be the first in the world to be registered with as ‘gender unknown’.
The baby, Searyl Atli Doty, was born at home in November last year and has been issued with a health care card without a specified gender.
Searyl’s parent, Kori Doty, is a non-binary trans parent who doesn’t identify as either male or female. Doty believes the baby should have the right to determine their own gender identity when they’re older.
Speaking to CBC News, Doty explained they're raising Searyl to "have the sense of self and command of vocabulary" to determine their own gender.
