'''Recognition of [[Nonbinary gender|non-binary gender identities]]''' in law and other paperwork is an important issue confronting modern society. This also deals with policies about [[transgender]] people in general and related policies about [[intersex]] people. Recognition here means whether an organization acknowledges that such people exist and have valid identities, and the organization does this by routinely giving them a place where they aren't forced into being wrongly categorized as a [[gender]] that doesn't match their [[gender identity]]. In the case of recognition of nonbinary people, this means the system doesn't force them to wrongly say they are one of the [[binary genders]] ([[female]] or [[male]]). Through networking and [[activism]], people can find out which organisations acknowledge non-binary genders, and can ask for acknowledgement from organisations that still need to do so.
