Argentina permits nonbinary 'x' ID cards

Residents in Argentina who identify as nonbinary, neither male nor female, will be allowed to mark “x” on their national identification documents and passports, officials announced on Wednesday.

So far, multiple countries, including New Zealand, Canada, and Australia, have already rolled out the option to identify as nonbinary on legal identification documents and cards. Argentina is the first country in South America to allow nonbinary residents to identify in a third gender category, the government said, according to multiple outlets.
