France legally recognises person as 'gender neutral' for the first time

"For the first time, a French court has recognised a person as 'gender neutral'.

The unnamed 64-year-old from Tours, central France, won the right to be recognised as gender neutral on official forms.


The person, who identifies as intersex, was referred to in the case as 'ile', a cross between 'he' and 'she' in French.

Appealing the ruling, the state prosecutor raised fears that a number of legal cases will be launched, resulting in a 'third sex'.

Um... would a better solution be to make it so that non-binary people can be officially recognized as such WITHOUT HAVING TO SUE SOMEONE.
