The Court of Appeal has ruled that people must state their sex (i.e. male or female) on their passports. This may sound like common sense has at last prevailed, but upon reading the court’s judgement, it is clear this is unlikely to last. The fact that our courts are even entertaining the concept of “non-binary” shows how far in to science-fiction we have fallen.

The case began with an attempted judicial review of the government’s requirement that sex be stated on passports. This was dismissed by the High Court before Christie Elan-Cane took it up with the Court of Appeal. Elan-Cane is “non-gendered” and insists that there ought to be an ‘X’ option available on passports. The government said otherwise and the Court of Appeal has agreed.

This will now go to the Supreme Court, and given the language of the Court of Appeal, the chances are it could succeed. The core of the problem is the notion that sex and gender are separate and distinct. The ‘thinking’ being that a person’s sex is biological, but their ‘gender’ is somehow separate and can be decided upon by the person in question. This is of course completely absurd, and a recipe for chaos, but the Court of Appeal, despite ruling in favour of the government, doesn’t seem to think so. The language used by the court is nothing short of alarming.
