加拿大頒發了第一個未確認性別的寶寶的健康卡

An eight-month old Canadian baby has been issued a health card without a gender marker, in what could be the first case in the world.

加拿大頒發了或許是世界上第一例沒有標註性別的健康卡，給一個八個月大的寶寶。

Parent Kori Doty - a non-binary transgender person who identifies as neither male nor female - aims to allow the child to discover their own gender.

父母Kori Doty——是一位非二元的變性人，自認為非男非女——希望能夠讓寶寶自己來決定的性別。

The health card has been issued with a "U" in the space for "sex", which could be for "undetermined" or "unassigned".

在頒發的健康卡上面性別一欄標註著「U」，可以理解為「未確定」或「未指定」。

Kori Doty is fighting to omit the gender from the birth certificate.

Kori Doty一直在為孩子的出生證上也能略過性別一欄而努力。

The parent gave birth to Searyl Atli in November at a friend s home in British Columbia. Kori Doty, who prefers to use the pronoun they, argues that a visual inspection at birth is unable to determine what gender that person will have or identify with later in life.

這位母親去年11月，在BC省的一個朋友的家裡產下Sear Atli。Kori Doty，希望用他們作為代詞代表這個孩子，認為在出生檢查時的性別並不能決定在未來的人生中那個人希望做的那個人。

They want to keep Searyl s sex off all official records.

他們希望在所有的官方資料中對於Searyl的性別不表。

"I m raising Searyl in such a way that until they have the sense of self and command of vocabulary to tell me who they are, I m recognising them as a baby and trying to give them all the love and support to be the most whole person that they can be outside of the restrictions that come with the boy box and the girl box," the parentwas quoted by CBC as saying.

「我就是用這樣的方式來撫養Searyl，直到他們有了自己的意識和足夠的語言可以告訴我他們是誰，我當他們是個小寶寶，給他們所有的愛和支持，讓他們成為想做的自己，那個或許超出大家意識當中的男孩或女孩的一個自己。「CBC引用這位家長的原話說。

In the case of Searyl Atli, the parent said that the authorities have refused to issue the birth certificate without a gender designation and so the parent has applied for a judicial review of the case.

家長說，有關部門拒絕頒發沒有確認性別的出生證，所以家長已經申請司法審查Searyl Atli的案子。

The family s lawyer, barbara findlay, whochooses to spell her name withoutcapital letters,told Global News:"The assignment of sex in this culture is done when a medical person lifts up the legs and looks at the baby s genitals. But we know that the baby s own gender identity will not develop for some years until after they re born.」

他們的家庭律師barbara findlay，希望她的名字都用小寫字母拼出來，跟GlobalNews說：「 我們現在的文化還停留在當孩子出生的時候，醫務人員把孩子的腿打開一看，便決定了Ta的性別的年代，但是我們都知道，這個孩子真正的性別是在出生後、經歷一些成長之後方能自我發現的。「

Canadian media reported that the baby s health card could be the first in the world to not have a gender designation.

加拿大媒體報道說，這個孩子的健康證或許是世界上第一個未有標註性別的證件了。

Kori Doty, a community educator who is part of theGender-Free ID Coalition, said that those who feel different to the gender designation assigned at birth face several problems later in life trying to change their documents.

Kori Doty，一位社區教育工作者，也是一位無性別身份聯盟成員，她說，對於自己的性別在出生時就被決定了、但是之後有不同自我認定的人來說，這非常麻煩，需要變更很多文件。

"When I was born, doctors looked at my genitals and made assumptions about who I would be, and those assignments followed me and followed my identification throughout my life," Kori Doty said.

「當我出生的時候，大夫看了我的性別，然後就假定了我將是誰，而這個分配就跟隨我，這個身份就貫穿了我的一生。「Kori Doty說。

"Those assumptions were incorrect, and I ended up having to do a lot of adjustments since then.」

」那些身份並不正確，而我從那時起，不得不花了很多的時間進行調整。「
