California Becomes First US State To Legally Recognize A Third Gender by PDPGuy: 7:21am On Oct 23, 2017 |
California Governor Jerry Brown signed first-of-its kind legislation over the weekend that enables residents of the state to choose a third, non-binary gender category on California state-issued IDs, birth certificates and driver’s licenses. The Gender Recognition Act, or Senate Bill 179, also reportedly makes the process of an individual changing their gender on legal documents easier by no longer requiring a statement from a physican declaring that they’ve undergone “clinical treatment.” “As the LGBT community — but especially the trans community — is under assault in this country, California needs to go in the opposite direction and embrace the trans community and support the trans community and modernize these laws,” State Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), who co-sponsored the bill alongside Sen. Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), said in a statement. While Oregon and Washington D.C. have undergone steps to make it easier for citizens to legally identify as non-binary, California is the first to enshrine a third gender category into law. Brown also signed legislation this weekend that enables transgender people to change their name while incarcerated, which proponents say will help them get a leg up faster once they leave prison. A number of other countries already have or are in the process of passing legislation that allows citizens to legally identify outside of the gender binary, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, U.K, Pakistan and Nepal. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/california-third-gender-option_us_59e61784e4b0ca9f483b17b9 3 Likes 3 Shares |

PaperLace: Indeed. Although it is a victory for the transgender community, it may create problems for those of them who visit foreign countries that do not recognize "non-binary" gender, assuming the US State Department allows US passport holders to identify as non-binary. I wonder how that issue would be resolved. 14 Likes |

Daeylar:Lol. I see nothing wrong here. It's a welcome development. I see people saying "End time". Hehehe. Horrific things were happening in the world around 1000-2000 years ago, the kind of which we haven't witnessed in the modern age. I wonder why the world didn't end then. The world is getting BETTER, not getting WORSE. End time my ass. Good morning. How're you doing? 39 Likes 9 Shares |

ZandhaZaraZ: I don't even understand the whole issue, I'm guessing non binary is for the transgenders? Just read up on this, I guess this can also include those who are intersex, So in that case I'm all for it. I'm doing good, and you? 4 Likes |

Daeylar:Conservatism is a problem in need of an urgent solution. Most people are too rigid in their fixation on the old ways of doing things, that any deviation from them is considered an abomination. I'm fine. 9 Likes |

Non-binary gender? Not only 0 or 1? Someone better update Digital Logic with the quickness. And they wonder why those bushfires are hitting so hard, jk. They should do this in Atlanta, Georgia too. Too many weirdos walking out there whose voices don't match their gender. 3 Likes |

Nice development... People should be free to express and enjoy their sexuality.... Hypocrites should quietly shut up.... You that steals,lies,keeps malice,fornicates,masturbates,gets jealous,mocks others,judges others,... etc is not in any way better or more righteous than members of the LGBT community... 12 Likes 3 Shares |
