Azul!

I'm a prospective citizen and I like to know your opinion about a Gender Law that allows citizens to be Non-Binary oficially.

Nice to meet you all.

I approve of this idea in principle. At the moment, no records are kept of any citizens' gender and if they wish to formally announce a different gender identity that's as simple as changing their name.

There are no Talossan laws specifically pertaining to gender that I can see, apart from abortion being framed as a "women's" issue in the Covenants, and the provision that a female monarch is called Queen. I have been opposed to the latter for ages, because Florence Yarney was our monarch as King and there was nothing wrong with that.

So, there is no problem for anyone to change their gender or even to change it to other genders non-binary?

No problem at all.  We don't have gender laws.  The only time we ask about it is during immigration, but as you probably just noticed, the field on that form is a 'write-in' text box where you can put any answer, instead of fixed choices.

There was a suggestion (by me), elsewhere and elsewhen, about our using a gender-neutral escutcheon in our armorial bearings.
It was a suggestion that, alas, went down like a lead balloon.

Perhaps I should try to revive it... <grin>
