Non-binary people should be able to ‘opt-out’ of male and female gender markers on official documents, according to the ruling. [Denver C](https://www.ticketfairy.com/es/word/author/denverctf.md) 18 marzo 2022 · 2 min de lectura Colombia’s highest court acknowledges non-binary people on a legal basis. Non-binary people should be able to ‘opt-out’ of male and female gender markers on official documents, according to the ruling. Colombia becomes the latest nation along with Argentina, Australia, Canada, Iceland, Ireland, Malta, New Zealand, The United States, and India to allow non-binary options on legal documents. The judgment by the high court is the first of its kind in Latin America. The court has declared that people should be able to have their gender listed on official identity documents. The decision [states](https://www.reportr.world/news/colombia-supreme-court-rules-for-official-non-binary-gender-a4677-20220302) that ‘the government now must make it possible for non-binary people to opt for this category, with the same guarantees of those who identify officially as binary.’ *Image Used Only For Representation (Via [Unsplash.](https://unsplash.com/photos/90bg59HzXxE))* The court was pondering on the case of a Colombian-born Dani Garcia Pulgarn, who began a gender transition at the age of 20. Pulgarn petitioned the National Registry of Civil Status in 2019 to have the gender marker on her national ID card changed to a third choice. Initially denied, Pulgarn was later issued a new document with a non-binary gender qualification by the National Registry. “Not only is it required by international law, but it will also go a long way to fostering equality, tolerance and inclusion for all,” [said](https://xtramagazine.com/power/activism/colombia-recognizes-non-binary-219625) González. Although García identifies as neither man nor woman, she [uses](https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/03/08/colombias-constitutional-court-advances-gender-diversity) ‘she/her’ pronouns. Activists in Colombia have applauded the decision, believing that the new legal category will sufficiently accommodate non-binary people. The Netherlands was the first country to issue a gender-neutral passport and are planning to discard gender markers from identity documents altogether. Colombia also recently [decriminalized](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2022/03/02/tf-daily-feed-colombia-legalizes-abortion-in-a-historic-ruling) abortion within the first twenty-four weeks of pregnancy. ## Latest from TF Daily Feed:  ##### Tinder Announces Criminal Background Check for Users ##### [Guatemala Bans Same-Sex Marriage And Increases Abortion Punishment](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2022/03/16/tf-daily-feed-guatemala-bans-same-sex-marriage-and-increases-abortion-punishment) ##### [Norway To Add Gender-Neutral Pronouns To Official Dictionary](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2022/02/24/tf-daily-feed-norway-to-add-gender-neutral-pronouns-to-official-dictionary) *Feature Image Via [Colombia Reports](https://colombiareports.com/amp/bogotas-gay-pride-in-pictures/).* Compartir [X](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fes%2Fword%2F2022%2F03%2F18%2Ftf-daily-feed-colombia-legally-recognizes-non-binary-as-a-gender.md&text=TF+Daily+Feed%3A+Colombia+Legally+Recognizes+Non-binary+as+a+Gender) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fes%2Fword%2F2022%2F03%2F18%2Ftf-daily-feed-colombia-legally-recognizes-non-binary-as-a-gender.md) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=TF+Daily+Feed%3A+Colombia+Legally+Recognizes+Non-binary+as+a+Gender+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fes%2Fword%2F2022%2F03%2F18%2Ftf-daily-feed-colombia-legally-recognizes-non-binary-as-a-gender.md) ## Denver C Tracking stories in music with a focus on festivals, events, gigs, and sustainability.
