Although the law was initially passed for intersex people, some non-intersex non-binary people have managed to get a third gender marker too by getting a note from a trusted doctor. <ref>"Ratgeber für inter- und transgeschlechtliche Menschen", LSVD. https://www.lsvd.de/recht/ratgeber/intersexuelle/ratgeber-fuer-inter-und-transgeschlechtliche-menschen.html</ref>
