The legal landscape of intersex and nonbinary rights is quickly shifting. Currently, the Zzyym v. Pompeo case sits in the 10th circuit challenging the State Department to obtain an “X” marker on a passport, there are bills in front of state legislatures in at least five new states to add gender neutral options to state IDs, and California just introduced a bill to prohibit unnecessary surgery on intersex infants. Join a conversation with panelists from four leading organizations addressing in-depth questions of strategy, ethics, and expanding legal protections for people whose sex or gender is not strictly male or female. We will talk about how the nonbinary movement elevates the level of discourse regarding discrimination on the basis of sex, the explicit or expanded laws and policies needed to protect intersex and nonbinary people, how to mobilize collaborative working groups to respect local leadership while providing for national consistency, strategies to ease judges and the public into understanding that both sex and gender can be nonbinary, and so much more.
