Norway considers introducing a third gender

In French universities, the gender-neutral pronoun 'iel' –a contraction of the 'il' (he) and elle (she)– is becoming more widespread. Some professors already use these pronouns in their email signatures.

There is unease in religious communities in Norway about the gender demands of the new coalition government. The Labour-Centre government is on the course to only subsidise religious groups that have at least the 60-40 balance of men and women on the board.

Most of the Dutch population consider an expert statement and a minimum age of 18 crucial for changing the sex on the birth certificate.
