Elan-Cane uses her own pronouns in everyday life (Pr\/per\/perself instead of Ms\/her\/herself). In the complaint, she wrote that the compulsory gender assignment is &#8220;inherently discriminatory&#8221; and constitutes a breach of the European Declaration of Human Rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Supreme Court justices unanimously dismissed the complaint. They explained that the gender of passport applicants is &#8220;a biographical detail that can be used to confirm their identity by matching it against the birth, adoption, or gender recognition certificates and other official records provided.&#8221; Therefore, it is the sex recognized for legal purposes and recorded in those documents that is relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The presiding judge, Lord Robert Reed, Baron Reed of Allermuir, continued:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There is no legislation in the UK which recognizes a non-gendered category of person. On the contrary, all legislation assumes that all persons can be assigned to one of the two genders, using these terms interchangeably.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elan-Cane accused Britain of being &#8220;on the wrong side of history&#8221; after the ruling, and announced she would now take the case to the European Court of Human Rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Are you interested in the pro-life and pro-family movement?
