@DeborahForPlus Jepp, D is „divers“. No one (i.e. nonbinary and inter) is really happy with the word, but it’s okay enough to claim our rights.

Out constitutional court gave the former conservative legislature a deadline till end of 2018 to introduce a „third positive option“, after an inter person took their case to court.

Therefore, the conservative made the law as tight as possible to limit access to that option. We now have the four official gender markers, but different ways to get them. Inter people can use a medical certificate, but only if their DSD diagnosis is within the Chicago Consensus of 2005. If you’re not inter, you still need two psychiatric certificates, like binary trans persons. This option was also made available by a court ruling in 2020. Problem: There’re almost no psychiatric experts who know enough about nonbinary people.

With a little bit of luck, this all will be gone in a few weeks with the Self-ID law. Unfortunately, we also have a swing to the right and general election in 2025. We’ll see if the law will be in effect by then and whether the next government will keep it.
