By 2020, Pennsylvania will join a growing number of pioneering states including Washington, Arkansas, Nevada and Maine allowing driver’s license holders to choose from three gender options, male, female and the gender-neutral option of X. For those people who identify as gender nonbinary or transgender, this has been a long time coming and a massive win for gender equality.

Several states define gender X as a term used to encompass “a gender that is not exclusively male or female, including, but not limited to, intersex, agender, amalgagender, androgynous, bigender, demigender, female-to-male, genderfluid, genderqueer, male-to-female, neutrois, nonbinary, pangender, third sex, transgender, transsexual, Two Spirit, and unspecified.” Today, more than 7,000 people in the United States currently have gender X markers on official identification, though not all states allow the marker on all legal forms.
