Now gone a step further, and allow to self ID as gender diverse. The first country to do this (according to BBC news)

I just read the Wiki article about "Drittes Geschlecht" and everything seems to come under this term, intersex, transgender, there is even a mention of bisexuality in it.

I'm not sure this is reported quite right. The problem lies with the BBC using the term gender whereas I'm pretty sure the German law uses "Geschlecht" which is sex.

Wait what? Click link?
Does this mean Self ID is all that is needed or they are including it as part of the process to legally translation?
