Oregon has become the first state to legally recognise non-binary people.
The state will now allow people to choose a third gender on official documents like driving licenses and identification cards.
In addition to ‘F’ and ‘M’, people will be able to choose ‘X’.
The move, which is set to go into effect on July 1, is confirmation of a massive civil rights win for anyone who does not identify as simply male or female.
This includes non-binary, gender-fluid and genderqueer people, as well as some trans people.
Citizens will be able to request a change to the gender on their documents without the need for a doctor’s note.
“This change in ID is a huge piece of validation for me,” J Gibbons, a non-binary, transgender Portland resident told The Guardian.
Gibbons, 26, uses gender-neutral and they/them pronouns.
They said: “The state of Oregon sees me for who I am.
“I don’t even think ‘excitement’ can capture all of my emotions about this change.”
