Argentina’s President Alberto Fernandez announced a new National Identity Document (DNI) for nonbinary people on Wednesday.
The DNI’s goal is to guarantee the right to gender identity fo people who don’t recognize themselves as either female or male, he said.
“There are other identities besides man and woman that must be respected,” Fernandez said during a news conference from the Casa Rosada Museum in Buenos Aires.
The new document establishes the terminology “x” in the field of gender in amended DNI and passports.
