New York Latest State Adopts a Gender Neutral Marker for Official Documents

New York’s Legislature passed a new law (now awaiting the Governor’s signature) that creates a gender neutral marker for state documents. The bills allow people to use a gender-neutral “X” as a gender marker on driver’s licenses and birth certificates, New Yorkers to attest to their own gender identity when petitioning a court or updating an identification document, and parents the choice to be designated as “father,” mother” or “parent” on their child’s birth certificate.
