Brazilian court allows gender neutral designation in documents for the first time

  • On Wednesday, a high court in Brasilia permitted an individual to have a gender-neutral label on official documents for the first time.
  • The ruling followed the person's appeal after initially requesting male identification following hormone treatment but later regretting that decision.
  • All five judges on the panel, including rapporteur Nancy Andrighi, agreed on this unprecedented case, which remains sealed at present.
  • Judge Andrighi characterized the case as intense, emphasizing the individual’s significant distress in undergoing surgery and hormone therapy, only to later recognize it was not the right path.
  • The court's authorization represents a novel legal recognition of gender-neutral identity but could still face future review or challenge.
