We might have to be careful how we address the gender of people in this city from now on...

New York City residents who do not identify as male or female can now opt for a third gender on their birth certificates.
Under new rules that came into effect on New Year's Day, New Yorkers can choose 'X' instead of the traditional male or female.
The new law was approved by the New York City Council and Board of Health last September.
The revision also makes it easier for transgender people to change their gender as it removes the requirement for a doctor's note or health care provider's affidavit.
New York City's Democrat mayor Bill de Blasio said at the time that the change would 'allow transgender and gender nonconforming New Yorkers to live with the dignity and respect they deserve'.
Residents of New Jersey, California, Washington, and Oregon can already choose 'X' on their birth certificates, while Washington DC permits the designation on driver's licenses.
The change came into effect on the same day as Germany introduced a new 'diverse' option for intersex people.
The new law, passed last month, requires that people who want to identify as 'diverse' on official documents provide a doctor's certificate.
Until now, people who did not identify as male or female had to leave the gender category blank.
The law was changed after Germany's Federal Constitutional Court told the government it must either introduce a third gender category option or drop gender entries from official documents altogether.
Intersex people are born with sexual characteristics that are not typically male or female. According to the UN, up to 1.7 per cent of the world's population may be intersex.

RE: Might be helpful in a dating situation.
Can you give us an example?
You know, I have been avoiding the mainstream news for some time now. Too much crazy negative crap in my face. I may have to ditch the Internet for a while because of stories like this.
It won’t be enough. Those who dwell in the remaining 28 or more “gender” categories will be outraged. Watch for “I AM NOT AN X” or something creepily similar. It isn’t over.
Maybe it’s a test. If you choose the third gender option for your child it’s proof you’re an idiot not fit to be a parent and they take your baby away.
;)
X?
They should change it to two choices:
1. X
2. Y
This is like a sanity test, right there. If you have a baby and assign it some genderless state, you are crazy. Easy, fast, and never wrong.
Ridiculous
Idiot parents labeling their kids with stupid from time of birth.

Thing is... there IS no third gender.
If gender is “fluid” why not age? I’m applying for ss!
A She that claims it’s a He, or vice versa, then equals not an X ? Actually becomes an “It”! As in; What is It ?? Which is the result of the She=He=It movement
Insanity is the denial of human nature.
Why “X”? Perhaps “Unstated” would have been a better option. Or “TBD.” Or “subject chooses to deny human nature and is under the illusion that sex can be changed.”
So what do the doctors have to say about this foolishness?
I was born a male. Today, I am a woman who thinks I'm a man. Next week, I'll be a man who thinks I'm a woman who thinks I'm a man. :-P

Why do Homosexual/Gender activists hate SCIENCE?
