Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the Gender Recognition Act on Thursday which expands protections for transgender and non-binary residents. It allows the use of “X” as a non-binary sex designation on New York driver licenses and ensures that gender identity can be used on official documents. The act provides protections to reduce discrimination against nonbinary and transgender New Yorkers along with allowing residents to amend their birth certificates and use a designation of mother, father, or parent for the first time.
