“The ‘X’ gender marker allows for individuals to have more privacy around their gender,” says Arli Christian, a spokesperson for the National Center for Transgender Equality. “Any individual who chooses to have additional privacy can request an ‘X’.

The District is only the second jurisdiction in the country to take this step.

An approved plan for gender-neutral licenses in Oregon takes effect July 3.

California’s State Senate has approved a bill adding a non-binary option on licenses; House members there are now examining the measure.
Meanwhile, Nadeau is sponsoring a bill supporting gender-neutral licenses in the District.

“Folks who are transitioning or who do not identify with a specific gender are forced to choose one when they get their driver's license,” she says.
