Unfortunately, in our current legal system, in most countries there is only the option of being recognized legally as a man or woman.

And this needs to change! So many are simply being cast back into the binary because of this. It negates who they are as a kind of double-whammy, or a Catch-22!

There is one exception that I am aware of and that is because Linus posted a link with a story about a person born as a cisgender man, transitioned to become female, then decided that she/he was non-gendered. England did grant this person legal status as non-gendered.

This is so very interesting! Thanks, Linus! Needs to be many, many, more exceptions!
