Canada is becoming home to every aberration<\/a>. It now performs the population census by breaking it down into five “gender identities.” This is what Statistics Canada<\/a>, the national statistical agency, did when it categorized Canadians into “transgender women and men, cisgender women and men, and non-binary people” in the 2021 census. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
