ZandhaZaraZ any thoughts?

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.

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?

Daeylar:


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?

Jesus is coming soon. You need to change from your bad ways. The anti- christ is here already.

PDPGuy:


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.
