Typically on a government form, there are only two genders listed, either 'male' or 'female'. Throughout the 20th century this was never seen as a problem.
Take this for example
For example, a person who is born a woman but self identifies as a man will no longer have documentation that says 'F' for 'Female', instead, if he or she chooses, she can have her gender read 'X' for undetermined!
This seems like a trivial and minor change on a passport, but in reality, this change is seen as a massive push for the Transgender community, who are often detained at airports if they don't look like the gender that their passport says!
ith the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer) movement, some countries are making an exception for those who have an unknown gender identity.
