GERMANY HAS PASSED SELF-ID LAWS!

The Federal Republic joins 20 countries which have passed laws allowing people to declare their own legal gender. I hope someday this will apply across the whole EU.

On a more personal level, this means I can finally change my own legal gender to #nonbinary 🎉🏳️‍⚧️

Text from DW's headline which reads: Gender identity law passes in German parliament. 3 hours ago The German parliament has voted for legislation smoothing the process for transgender, intersex and nonbinary people to change their name and gender identity.

If this ever applies across the whole EU, Poland is going to have one hell of an interesting problem. We encode gender as a single bit (the oddness or evenness of a specific digit in our national identification number). This is going to break so many things.

To be clear, I would fully support such an initiative, but the fallout would be quite interesting to watch.
