    I have dual citizenship - UK and Canadian. If the government in Canada removes it from theirs can I have it removed from the UK one? Or do I have to keep it on the Canadian one until the UK removes it? Or do I just have it on the UK one and not on the Canadian one?

    'it' refers to the sex ID on passport.

    My guess is once the Canadian government officially gets gender neutral IDs, you can change your Canadian one, but not your UK one until the UK government changes their legislation on gender neutral IDs.

    I wonder if it'll be a thing on the provincial photo ID. I was so happy when I got mine changed.

    I'd love it if they're going to do everything that is government issued.
