Christie Elan-Cane's continuing fight for legal and social recognition outside the societal gender system in the UK: "As a young adult completing my first passport application form, I remember feeling a sense of anguish and real outrage that I was required to state a gendered role in order to obtain a passport, even though this was some time before I was able to embrace my non-gendered identity. Even though I was not aware that any human identity outside the gendered societal structure was possible and indeed very real, it nonetheless felt completely wrong for me to tick a box and declare myself to be something or more rather someone belonging of the gendered role that society had bestowed on me but a role with which I could not identify."
