Residence Id: Trans People

residence id: Despite gains like this in recent years for trans people, rally spokesperson Dalia Briki said that Article 71 of the Civil Code still prohibits immigrants from changing their name or gender identity on identification if they are not Canadian citizens, according to CTV. The activist group Euphorie dans le genre said they believe a single piece of permanent residence ID should be enough to allow trans people not to be marginalized. Last October Quebec Civil Code was changed; now a trans person can receive their ID cards with their chosen gender on it without the requirement for sex-reassignment surgery. Briki said it is essential migrant trans people have documents that are consistent with their identities, otherwise they can be discriminated against. In a daily way it can mean the tiny kinds of discriminations you can get. Spokesperson Caroline Trottier-Gascon explained. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
