Delaware needs to support Nonbinary residents on State IDs, Drivers License and Birth Cert

The Issue

Over 20 of the US States have taken steps to support out Nonbinary people with recognition as Gender X markers on State IDs, Drivers Licenses, and/or Birth Certificates.  Here in Delaware we are surrounded by support in MD, PA, and NJ, yet in one of the most progressive and LGBT-friendly legislatures, no visible steps have been taken to help and support us.  

Right now the US at the state level is facing unprecedented attacks on Trans and Nonbinary people to exist in public.  Getting basic recognition and support for our identities, names, and pronouns are critical to overcoming these systemic biases.  Supporting out Nonbinary people in Delaware with recognition of our Gender Identity with our public documents is critical to our visibility and to allow us to thrive in the future.

 Please, DE State Legislature, follow the best practices of the states that have gone before us, and take active steps to support us.  Let's put DE on this map.  https://www.lambdalegal.org/map/x-markers
