The Australian government has announced it is revising national guidelines on gender recognition and adding "indeterminate/intersex/unspecified" to the "male" and "female" designations on personal documents.

The change comes nearly five years after the Australian Human Rights Commission recommended the government expand its guidelines to accommodate greater gender diversity, and two years after Australia made similar changes to gender designations on passport forms.

This is the legislation if people want to send it to officials in their countries.
