Default ‘Diverse’: cabinet agrees to third gender on birth certificate

‘Diverse’: cabinet agrees to third gender on birth certificate

The German government on Wednesday approved a draft law allowing a third gender option on birth certificates for babies who are not distinctly male or female.

In a move described by the justice minister as "long overdue", Chancellor Angela Merkel's left-right coalition passed a bill permitting children born intersex to be registered as "various".

The measure follows a ruling by Germany's top tribunal last November that current regulations on civil status are discriminatory against intersex people, noting that the sexual identity of an individual is protected as a basic right.
