| Washington birth certificates could list sex as M, F or X |
| 2017-12-08 |
| [Spokesman] OLYMPIA – Washington birth certificates could soon have three options to represent a person's sex: M, F, or X. The state Department of Health is considering a change in its rules that allow transgender individuals born in the state to petition to change the sex listed on a birth certificate to represent their gender identity. It would also allow those who don't identify as either strictly male or female to choose a third option, X. The proposal met with strong support from groups supporting and members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities at a hearing Tuesday. |

| #10 And when they go into the hospital with some issue that actually has gender specific odds how does X help the staff make the correct choices? |

| #7 Why not just pick your own gender designation, e.g. any letter or combination of letters of the alphabet, or all or none? I could have gender "JohnQC" short for John Q. Citizen. |

| #4 represent a person's sex: M, F, or X. So (M)ale, (F)emale or (X)emale. |

| #3 Probably reasonable for those rare hermaphrodites or other genetic gender abnormalities, but not for psychological abnormalities. |
