I-Argentina, i-Australia, i-Canada, i-Denmark, i-India, i-Malta, i-Nepal, i-Netherlands, i-New Zealand ne-Pakistan amaphasipoti angathathi hlangothi ngobulili.
I-Germany iphinde inikeze isigaba esingeziwe sobulili obuhlukile.
Kodwa e-United Kingdom, izwe inkantolo ephakeme usanda kukhipha icala elibekwe uhulumeni ngokwehluleka ukuhlinzeka amaphasipoti angathathi hlangothi ngobulili.
Inselele yezomthetho yalethwa kuhulumeni waseBrithani ngemuva kokuthi umkhankaseli wamalungelo we-LGBTQ ongagculisi ethe ukushoda kwenketho ethi 'X' kwephula imithetho yamalungelo abantu.
U-Christie Elan-Cane, ohlonza njengomuntu “ongayena ubulili” “olwela ukuqashelwa okusemthethweni,” uqale wethula inselelo yezomthetho ukuze aqinisekise ukuqashelwa okusemthethweni kwabantu baseBrithani abangazihlonzi njengowesilisa noma owesifazane.
Isicelo sezomthetho sika-Elan-Cane sanqatshwa yiNkantolo Yokudlulisa Amacala ngoMashi 2020, eyathi inqubomgomo yamanje ayiphuli amalungelo abantu.
The inkantolo ephakeme isichithile ngazwi linye isicelo sika-Elan-Cane ngoLwesithathu, wanika iHhovisi Lezasekhaya enye iwini.
Ivikela umthetho okhona, odinga izakhamizi zase-UK ukuthi ziveze ukuthi owesilisa noma wesifazane kumaphasipoti azo, iNkantolo Ephakeme ithe ubulili buyingxenye yenqubo esiza iziphathimandla ziqinisekise ubunikazi bomfakisicelo.
“Ngakho-ke ubulili obuqashelwa izinjongo zomthetho futhi buqoshwe kuleyo mibhalo efanele,” kusho u-Lord Reed, umongameli weNkantolo Ephakeme, esinqumweni, echitha ubulili ngokuthi “abuyona ingxenye ebaluleke kakhulu yokuba khona kommangali noma umazisi."
U-Elan-Cane uphendule kabuhlungu kulesi sinqumo ku-Twitter, ekhononda ngokuthi "uhulumeni wase-UK kanye nohlelo lwezokwahlulela lusohlangothini olungalungile lomlando," lwehluleka ukunikeza ukuqashelwa kwabantu abangabobulili.
Efunga ukuthi isinqumo seNkantolo Ephakeme “akusona isiphetho,” u-Elan-Cane manje uzoyisa isicelo sakhe esiyinqaba eNkantolo YaseYurophu Yamalungelo Abantu, ezosichitha (uthemba) isinqumo sezinkantolo zaseBrithani.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- “It is therefore the gender recognized for legal purposes and recorded in those documents which is relevant,” Lord Reed, the president of the Supreme Court, said in the ruling, dismissing gender as not being “a particularly important facet of the appellant’s existence or identity.
- Defending the existing rule, which requires UK citizens to identify as either male or female on their passports, the Supreme Court said that gender forms part of the process that helps authorities confirm an applicant's identity.
- Vowing that the Supreme Court's decision is “not the end,” Elan-Cane will now take her bizarre quest to the European Court of Human Rights, which would overturn (she hopes) the decision from the British courts.
