@JulieFi15408366@lunarflare97 Definitely should be mandatory to at least wait until the individual is old enough to decide for themselves what gender they want to identify/not identify as.
#gs1000w2082 It's amazing how checking a box as either "male/female" can cause so much mental/emotional distress to an individual who does not identify as either. Canada now includes an "other" option on documents. This is great, but there is still room for improvement.
