FAKE NEWS!
"The "X" option will not be available at the time of birth, Michael Lanza, a spokesman for the New York City Health Department, told CNN Thursday, though it will be an option for amending youth birth certificates."
This is for grown adults - who choose to identify that way.
A minor point: your quote says for amending youth birth certificates. Not sure how that is interpreted but I’m guessing it’s any time after birth until 18 years of age.FAKE NEWS!

I don't have a dog in this fight but reading through the news link, it struck me that it wasn't that long ago that social conservatives were STILL trying to convince everyone that homosexuality was a 'chosen' lifestyle. I'm guessing it never dawn on them that they were announcing their own bisexuality to the world.
Conservatives are ignoring the Science of Human Sexuality the same way they're ignoring Global Warming.

So gender can be chosen but sexuality cannot be ? Any person can choose whether or not their DNA has accurately given them the body they feel they should have, but they can't choose an activity because it's part of their nature? And somehow a parent that has given birth has the authority to document something that can change within days on a nonstatic basis over and over during the course of someones life. Why should a parent or anyone else for that matter be expected to speak for something that is as fluid as gender on a legal document? Should a parent have the authority to name a child? Is a name less transient than their DNA?
Your born a man or a woman. That is science. You can be gay, but you're still a man or a woman. Not sure why you're mixing those obvious items. Plenty of Democrats think gay is an issue too, btw. Go ask a southern black preacher.
I think for the most part everyone is fairly accepting of gays these days.
Global warming is a completely different subject. I'm more pro environment than your standard hacky sack playing Democrat that tosses garbage all over the place.
Some people are NOT born a male or female actually. Intersex people.
I guess that is a case where this x donation would actually apply. Assuming the chromosome makeup is standard, you're a male or female.
Is there a 3rd form of human genetics that science hasnt discovered but a certain segment of society knows about secretly?Some people are NOT born a male or female actually. Intersex people.
Well said.So gender can be chosen but sexuality cannot be ? Any person can choose whether or not their DNA has accurately given them the body they feel they should have, but they can't choose an activity because it's part of their nature?

I don't think anyone argues that sex is defined DNA.
Gender is not sex though.
If someone chooses to identify as a woman, when they were born a man. Why do you care? They get one life - and that's a VERY hard decision for someone to make. Let them live their life to their fullest and you live yours.
Me personally I don't really care for the most part, but there are issues just identifying to be anything in general. I would never say or insult someone though.
I do think this blurs the line of reality and make believe though. Can I self identify as a 75 year old and collect SS payments? Can I self identify as an Indian when I'm less than 1% Indian? Then the whole title 9 problem since any guy can be a girl now. What about any random dude going into the ladies bathrooms or showers? There are some serious things to think about before anyone can be whatever they feel and disregard science.
