Campaigner loses Supreme Court case challenging government's refusal to issue gender neutral passports
The Supreme Court unanimously dismissed Christie Elan-Cane's appeal, which came after the Home Office won an earlier ruling in the Court of Appeal.
"It is therefore the gender recognised for legal purposes and recorded in those documents which is relevant," he said. "There is no legislation in the United Kingdom which recognises a non-gendered category of individuals," he said. But Lord Reed said while non-gendered identity may be central to Christie Elan-Cane's private life, the designation of an identity in a passport is not "a particularly important facet of the appellant's existence or identity".
