New York City Begins Issuing Gender ‘X’ Birth Certificates
< >
A New York City law allowing parents to obtain birth certificates for their children without listing a specified gender took effect this week.
The law allows parents to select the letter “X” signifying a newborn’s gender, and allows adults to switch their gender on their birth certificates to the letter “X” to represent their “true gender identity,” the Associated Press reported.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio passed the legislation allowing the “X” option in October, stating that having a third gender is necessary “because everyone deserves to live their truth.”
