Details:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

New Yorkers who don\u2019t identify as male or female may soon be able to reflect that on their birth certificates. City officials want to add a third gender category of \u201cX\u201d to city birth certificates to make them more inclusive.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis proposal will allow transgender and gender non-conforming New Yorkers to live with the dignity and respect they deserve, and make our City fairer,\u201d Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement.<\/p>\n

New York City would join the states of Oregon, California and Washington in allowing a non-binary gender category on official documents if the proposal is ultimately approved.<\/p>\n

The city became the first in the nation to put an \u201cintersex\u201d option on birth certificates in 2016. The \u201cX\u201d designation would replace \u201cintersex\u201d if the Department of Health\u2019s new proposal passes.<\/p>\n

The proposal would also make it easier for New Yorkers to change their birth certificates to match their gender identity. Current rules require an affidavit from a person\u2019s health care provider change their gender marker, but the new proposal would allow the person to submit their own affidavit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
