The appeal which was made by Christie Elan-Cane was dismissed by the Supreme Court. This has led to the case being taken to the European Court of Human Rights.
The legal battle has been ongoing for decades and so far, Countries such as New Zealand, the US, Pakistan, and Germany have implemented gender neutral passports.
