N.S. students will soon be able to mark their gender as X at school

Nova Scotia students in grades pre-primary to 12 will soon be able to have their gender recorded as X at school. Right now, the computer systems used by schools only record a student's sex — whether they were documented as female or male on their birth certificate or other legal documentation. This month, the category of sex will be replaced with gender, allowing students to choose F for female, M for male or X for non-binary, transgender, gender fluid, gender diverse or another gender identity.
