Bid to introduce gender neutral 'X' to passports goes to the Court of Appeal
The Court of Appeals is today hearing the case of a campaigner who wants the government to introduce an 'X' marker to passports for people who do not identify as male or female.
Christie Elan-Cane's campaign to change the gender markers in passports failed at the High Court last year. They had argued at the time that the current policy of Her Majesty's Passport Office breached human rights laws.
At present, applicants for a UK passport can only choose from male or female.
