Germany First European Country To Recognise Third Gender

Brilliant news.

Germany will soon become the first country in Europe to officially recognise a new gender-type. 

This news comes just one month after California became the first US state to introduce the option on all identification documents.

Following in this good example, Germany will now have a third gender option when registering birth certificates. According to the court, not allowing this will be ‘unconstitutional’. It will help non-binary identification, as well as those born with ambiguous sexual anatomy.

The Intersex Society of North America explains:

“For example, a person might be born appearing to be female on the outside, but having mostly male-typical anatomy on the inside.

Or a person may be born with genitals that seem to be in-between the usual male and female types – for example, a girl may be born with a noticeably large clitoris, or lacking a vaginal opening, or a boy may be born with a notably small penis, or with a scrotum that is divided so that it has formed more like labia.

Or a person may be born with mosaic genetics, so that some of her cells have XX chromosomes and some of them have XY.” 

This new system is a breakthrough for those who suffer from the above issues and it’s great to see society embracing it.

For example, transgender people will most definitely benefit. They have reported problems with security or ID checks if their outside appearance does not seem to match their listed gender.

But this could soon become at thing of the past as this new law should come into effect by December 31st 2018.

Gender is one thing, but would you embrace this lifestyle?
