Canada to offer gender-neutral ‘other’ option for visitors
Some foreign visitors to Canada will be allowed to identify themselves as male, female or other in a border document being introduced this week, as Canada joins a handful of countries offering gender-neutral options.
The new Electronic Travel Authorizations (eTAs) with three gender options will be introduced on Thursday for travelers flying into or through Canada, officials said.
Canada also has taken steps toward allowing people who have changed genders to switch the designation on passports and other documents, said a spokeswoman for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the federal agency that issues travel documents.
Having the ability to designate an “other” gender option on identity documents such as travel, residency or employment papers has become a cause among many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) groups who represent people who do not consider themselves to be male or female.
Is this necessary ? What say you ?

These doesn't form gender but the characteristics of a gender.
In a way it's correct to identify who the person exactly.

So the security system and the other applicable people will aware democratically who the person is.

How ever I feel every creature in this world is incomplete unless they make it complete. This is the test the Human has to overcome to complete themselves.
Some time the disease can be cured by Doctor or else surely should seek the help of creator.

Good move. Treating people equally is the hall mark of a truly democratic society.
