The German Cabinet on Wednesday approved a draft bill that would add a\u00a0third gender option<\/a> to official identity records.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bill allows intersexual people to register their gender as \u201cdivers,\u201d which translates roughly to \u201cmiscellaneous\u201d or \u201cother,\u201d\u00a0and would come into force by the end of the year. Until now, people in a similar situation could only register without a gender.<\/p>\n

The draft law follows a Constitutional Court ruling last year that found the current system violated a person\u2019s individual rights and anti-discriminatory laws<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The court had ruled on a case in which a plaintiff with one X chromosome but no second sex chromosome had tried unsuccessfully to change their gender at a birth register from \u201cfemale\u201d to third category. Females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome.<\/p>\n

The judges found that authorities must choose to either scrap\u00a0gender identification altogether or allow people in a similar situation to choose \u201canother positive designation of their sex<\/a> that is not male or female.\u201d<\/p>\n
