Chile issues first non-binary national identity document
Summary by Ground News
Shane Cienfuegos became the first person in Chile’s history to receive a non-binary national identity document Friday. Cienfuegos, 29, who heads social intervention activities for the Trans Diversity Organization of Chile, obtained the document after a nine-year bureaucratic and legal battle. “This isn’t my victory; it’s a collective victory,” Cinefuegos told reporters in showing off the identity card, which has an “X” for the Sex entry rather than male or female.
