Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday signed a bill that adds a third gender category on birth certificates issued in New York City.
The new non-binary identity category, known as X, is for those who dont consider their gender to be male or female.
A letter from a physician or an affidavit by a licensed health care provider will no longer be provided.
Residents can now submit their own affidavit requesting a change in gender identity.
New Yorkers should be free to tell their government who they are, not the other way around, de Blasio said. This new legislation will empower all New Yorkers especially our transgender and gender non-binary residents to have birth certificates that better reflect their identity, and it furthers the Citys commitment to defending the rights of our LGBTQ community.
For the first time, all New Yorkers will be able to get a birth certificate that reflects and affirms their lived reality, said First Lady Chirlane McCray. We will not stop there we strive to extend that dignity to every aspect of life. We will stand strong against any attempt to deny members of the LGBTQ community the respect or safety they deserve as fellow human beings.
Today is a landmark day for our city, said Speaker Corey Johnson. New York is sending a clear message to people who are transgender, gender non-conforming and non-binary that we are here for you. This law will help those friends, neighbors and colleagues better self-identify on their birth certificates, a document thats so important in everyday life.
Last week, de Blasio held a public hearing on his birth certificate proposal.
This is an example of respecting all New Yorkers, and giving people the freedom of self-determination and self-expression, de Blasio said.
Prior to 2014, New Yorkers seeking to change the gender on their birth certificates had to have undergone gender confirmation surgery first.
I’m going to identify as a pencil . . . I want to be sharp!
Interesting, they tried this in Massachusetts as well. It was rejected because it did not identify the other 73 genders.
Don’t know about you but if I lived in NY I would check the “X” box. Job security.
M - male
F - female
X - mentally ill

Absolutely. It’s the Democrat mind-sent.
Again, I say, some part of the Strong Delusion, which will full-manifest with the arrival of the Man of Sin, must have already started.
This kind of bizarre, alternate UN-reality is just the kind of stuff Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama promoted.
That there are tens of millions of fools that buy into this insanity true shows we are in the Last Days.
Are 150 million Democrats that insane that they’re going to go along with this craziness? No rational person can support gay marriage, more than 2 genders or the slaughter of unborn children. Democrats really need to wake up to the reality of this insanity.
It boggles the mind to see these people in action.
Of course now the other 49 states will have to deal with idiots moving there with X on their birth certificates.... Which is what this is really about... forcing crap that sane America sees right through, on them.
Once some part of the nation started following Obama down these insane paths, I knew it was bad times coming.
I read that guy right off. And I wasted my time talking to several people that support him. No rational discussion, no logic, no facts can sway them. Most of them appear to be reprobate. Maybe a few have woken up.
Those parent taking their children into places like that, including gay pride parades, are guilty of child abuse.
You’re not the only one.
Thanks. I have to keep picking my jaw up off the floor when I see this insanity. I always expected it to come but frankly, didin’t expect it to be so blatant this side of the 7-year Tribulation period (which we are NOT inside, yet).
Personally I don’t believe the Church is here to see that. Just Tribulation Saints. STILL, these people are off the deep-end. /Captain Obvious
How can anyone follow a Democrat like this? I just don’t understand it at all.
THIS is the city that suffered the most during 9/11/2001 and they’re provoking God like this? It truly, truly boggles the mind.
I wonder how many are left in NYC that not only own a Bible but have actually read it? I know we have FReepers there. But I expect the Democrats in all their Dem-controlled cities to applaud this.
Because Barack surely does. And he’s their false-prophet-false-messiah hero. And they love him with their lives. Some of them already have gone to their graves worshiping him.
Sorry but I think you mean Dr Deth. He stated the GoFundMe page that is now defunct.
Use a DNA gender test as the standard.
exactly. Their pretend gender is meaningless in medicine where knowing if someone is biologically male or female can be critical in properly diagnosing and treating a life and death illness or injury.
More Insanity courtesy of the Warped Left.
Following this groundbreaking news, the first group of applicants for the new birth identity category have arrived to publicly declare themselves as "X"
I’ve identified as the Queen of Spain since birth. Yet my birth certificate says “male”. If my parents were still alive I’d sue them for millions.
