Call on President Obama and the U.S. government to legally recognize non-binary genders

Created by A.P. on May 03, 2016

Currently in the U.S., there is no third gender option on identity documents such as passports, birth certificates, drivers licenses, etc. People who identify as non-binary or genderqueer have no choice but to select a gender that does not correspond with how they identify. It is time for President Obama and the U.S. Government to not only acknowledge the existence of non-binary and genderqueer people, but to also legally recognize their gender identity and protect them from unjust discrimination.
