"New York City To Issue 3rd Gender 'X' On Birth Certificates Amid Transgender Push"
christianpost.com
"New York City is the most recent city to allow a third gender option on birth certificates for persons who do not identify as male or female. They will be classified as gender X.
NBC News reported that the city council and board of health in the nation's largest city voted Wednesday to include the third gender marker on birth certificates as of Jan. 1, 2019. The new policy will no longer require persons who identify as such to provide a note from a doctor or a health care provider's affidavit in order to make such a change.
New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio, a Democrat, backed the policy earlier this summer, noting in statement that the city's policy will 'allow transgender and gender nonconforming New Yorkers to live with the dignity and respect they deserve.'
City Council Speaker Corey Johnson introduced the bill in June and lauded its passage, saying it was a historic day for New York 'in its role as a worldwide champion for inclusivity and equality.'
Toby Adams, executive director of the Intersex & Genderqueer Recognition Project, also hailed the passage, since it's 'damaging legally and psychologically to have your gender identity misidentified, and there are so many places where we have to show our ID,' he said.
Already in New York City, the human rights law code requires employers, landlords, and all businesses and professionals to use an employee's, tenant's, customer's, or client's preferred name, pronouns — including 'ze' and 'hir' if so specified — and titles regardless of the person's biological sex. Penalties for failing to comply, 'misgendering,' could result in thousands of dollars in fines.
With this latest move, New York City, which is home to approximately 8.6 million people, joins a handful of other politically liberal states — New Jersey, Oregon, California, and Washington — that also allow a nonbinary designation on birth certificates."
