‘Diverse’: cabinet agrees to third gender on birth certificate
‘Diverse’: cabinet agrees to third gender on birth certificate
The German government on Wednesday approved a draft law allowing a third gender option on birth certificates for babies who are not distinctly male or female. In a move described by the justice minister as "long overdue", Chancellor Angela Merkel's left-right coalition passed a bill permitting children born intersex to be registered as "various". The measure follows a ruling by Germany's top tribunal last November that current regulations on civil status are discriminatory against intersex people, noting that the sexual identity of an individual is protected as a basic right. https://www.thelocal.de/20180815/div...th-certificate |
