"It's a brand new day for nonbinary, genderqueer, transgender, and gender nonconforming people all over the nation.
In a historic move sure to challenge federal policy, an Oregon circuit court ruled on Friday that a resident could legally change their gender to nonbinary.
The Daily Dot spoke—in an exclusive first interview—with Jamie Shupe, the Portland, Oregon, resident and Southern Maryland native who requested the gender identity change.
"Male and female are the traditional categories, but they fail to properly categorize people like me. So I challenged that," said Shupe."
