Gender recognition in identity documents in the United States: Difference between revisions

This article gives information on '''[[recognition]] of [[nonbinary]] gender identities in official documents of identity in the United States of America'''. 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]]). This page specializes in official documents of identity issued by the government, including birth certificates, driver's license, and passports. For forms of I.D. not issued by the government, and official recognition by non-governmental organizations, see the main article at [[gender recognition in the United States]].
