According to the New York State Department of Health, New Yorkers will now have the option to choose “X” as an option to signify another gender other than male or female on birth, marriage, and death certificates, WTEN reports.
“Birth, marriage, and death certificates are more than just documents, they allow someone to self-identify and to be seen for who they really are,” acting State Department of Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald said. “Non-binary and gender nonconforming people frequently experience widespread discrimination and harassment, which is often exacerbated by inaccurate identification.”
According to the NYS DOH, New Yorkers 17 or older can change their gender designation on their birth certificate, including requests for an “X” gender designation.

When confronted on Tuesday with angry protesters who voiced their displeasure with the New York State Department’s latest announcement, acting State Department of Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald told the protesters: “I don’t know what your complaining about. The X option is nothing new. In fact, it’s been around for a very, very long time. Haven’t you heard of Xmas?”
In addition, place of birth may be referred to as ‘New X’, if a resident feels like a Jersian trapped in a New Yorker’s body.
Yup. I’m feeling feminine today so I will be using the ladies bathroom at work today. No one can legally say a word to stop me.
No wonder the Marvel franchise is killing the X-MEN franchise in box office sales.
Gives Gen-X a whole new meaning!
I think we should all select it just to make them crazy.
New Yorkers May Now Choose ‘X’ Gender On Birth, Marriage, Death Certificates
And yet they think that they are enlightened ones who follow the science and the evidence….
In the history of the world there has probably never been an group that believed something so contrary to what their own eyes were seeing as our “enlightened” liberal friends who believe that gender is a social construct. If you believe that you may as well believe that night and day are social constructs too.
Alright, self-identify as X, and let everyone know that you have incurable mental deficiencies.
The letter X should also be prominently displayed on the gravestone, making every passerby see for generations to come that there lies a weird creature, whose departure made the world a little better.
Like Malcolm X?
A few weeks ago a medical app I use to make doctor’s appointments, informed me that I may choose other as my gender.
Not only that but I may choose differently with different doctors and they will keep it to themselves.
It’s a brave new world.
boy!! it is surely moshiach’ tzeit
I am very glad that entire frum community united against this atheist Kathy Hochul in achdus.
Stop lying. The entire Litvishe olam and most of the Chassidishe olam voted for Lee Zeldin. The numbers don’t lie. Small minded ignoramuses such as yourself forget that we Frum voters are a minority of a minority in a big Sodomite City and State. We really do not make a difference one way or the other. We can’t numerically effect the outcome of state wide races at all. Local Council/Assembly yes perhaps. It’s the way we vote that gets the eye of our politicians though. We voted for Zeldin to protect our Yeshivos and lower crime. Unfortunately the democrats out number is 8-1
At my last appointment with my ob/gyn, the form at check in had a spot for gender! HELLO??!! Needless to say, I left it blank. After all those years of medical school I was hoping the doctor would be able to figure it out in her own. The world is gantz meshuga!
Will they be able to fill in a “Y” for boy babies or everybody gets the female letter “X”?
who cares?
Because secular “culture” influences almost everyone, if not everyone, in at least some way. That’s why.
People from Shevet Reuven actually joined Korach’s “revolution” against Moshe Rabbeinu simply, as Rashi notes, due to their proximity to each other in the machanos.
This article turns my stomach. I need X-Lax!
