My home country has decided that in our national identity cards we will now have a third option for the sex category: female, male and X, for the non-binaries.

I can't express IRL how frustrated and angry I feel as almost everyone I know is very proud that we are the first country in our continent to do this, and how inclusive we are.

So I though I could share it here...

Madness, OP. I'm sorry.

It will be scary interesting to see how the effects of this play out. Especially in the mid to longer term, if it lasts that long.

I made a thread on feminism in Argentina a while back (- I have no memory of how I fell down that particular rabbit hole) (apologies for any errors):

I sometimes wonder, if everyone started ticking the non binary box, how long would it be before, a) the govt and authorities started having kittens about the lack of adequate data, and b) the special ones started feeling a bit less special and started looking for some other way to make their sad lives look interesting?

If I'm female and identify as X do I get an 18% pay rise or is that just for males?

Jay-sus. How on earth do they explain sex being replaced by genderwoo (and why only 3 options out of the 7 billion or so that ms said there were)?
