Should Province Of Alberta Remove Sex/Gender from Driver`s Licenses?
Every citizen in the province of Alberta is required to possess some government documents such as a driving license to identify himself or herself to the traffic officers, for example. However, to acquire such important documents, one has to identify his or her gender as male or female. But it is true that there are transgender people in this province who also should enjoy the rights and privileges including accessing government documents like any other. This has elicited a hot debate on whether gender should be removed as a requirement in filling driving licenses in the province of Alberta. Those opposing removal of gender identifier argues that gender identification is good for security matters. However, gender identifier should be removed in the driving license because it is distressing to the transgender people, denies transgender access to these documents, it is not a requirement in other democratic nations and also contributes to harassment and discrimination of transgender.
