The British government is considering on a formula that will help transgenders and intersex people to roam freely without any embarrassment. To nullify the forcefully choices of Male or Female, UK government is pondering seriously to introduce a new third gender category ?X? that will allow the citizens of indeterminate sex to opt this new category.
According to media sources, the Identity and Passport Service (IPS) offices in Britain is considering to follow the steps of Australian government which has introduced a new gender category for the indeterminate sex in Passport forms and book.
According to proposals, the British citizens of indeterminate sex may be able to use an "X" to denote their gender on passports, rather than "M" or "F".
However, this proposal is still under consideration and has not reached to any concrete stage, IPS official informed to media.
"We are exploring with international partners and relevant stakeholders the security implications of gender not being displayed in the passport. This is at the early discussion stage and no decisions have been taken," official added.
Since now, the regulation of marking of gender 'M' or 'F' is necessary for everyone, except those who go for sex change process. They are allowed to adjust the gender after the surgery.
