California is now the first state in America to recognize a third gender on legal documents like driver's licenses and birth certificates.
On Sunday, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed the legislation that will allow residents to identify their gender as female, male, or nonbinary. Senate Bill 179 — the Gender Recognition Act — states that "the binary gender designations of female and male fail to adequately represent the diversity of human experience."
Nonbinary is defined by GLAAD as a term used by people whose gender identities fall outside traditional categories of male or female.
