His parent does not consider himself to be either a man or a woman. I have not yet decided what gender it belongs to. And he insists that the child should also have the right to choose.
Cyril Athy is now eight months old. In fact, she was born a girl. At least from the point of view of banal anatomy. Who the baby considers herself to be, of course, so far, no one knows. But in the baby’s medical record in the “gender” column, the letter “U” has flaunted recently. What does “undetermined” mean, that is, undefined.
No, Canadian doctors, and it is in this country that Cyril lives, are not crazy. Moreover, they have actively resisted this definition of child sex since November last year, when the baby was born. However, his parent Corey Doty insisted (or insisted?) On his own: they say, the child will grow up and decide for himself whether he wants to be a boy or a girl. In girlish dresses and skirts of the child, he (she?) Still dresses the baby. As well as in pants, however.

Now a few words about mom. If you know who we are talking about, then the situation becomes clearer. Corey is an activist for the Genderless Identity Coalition. Its participants argue that children have the right to have an indeterminate gender at birth and only then to feel their gender identity on their own. Corey (he himself prefers to be addressed with a neutral pronoun “they” – “they”) was born as a girl, but then decided to change his gender. Now he has a female reproductive system, so formally he is the mother of a girl. But at the same time, his face is already quite masculine – with a mustache and a beard. Corey considers himself a non-binary transgender, that is, neither a man nor a woman.

“When I was born, doctors made a conclusion about who I was, just by looking at my genitals,” the newspaper quoted Corey as saying. … “Their assumptions turned out to be wrong, but they influenced me throughout my life. And I had to change a lot. “
Corey wants her (his?) Child to avoid such a fate. And therefore it requires that changes be made to all children’s documents, including the birth certificate. But here the officials are still adamant.
