Puerto Rico's Supreme Court has ruled to allow an 'X' option for gender on birth certificates following a push from nonbinary plaintiffs.

Birth certificates in Puerto Rico can now designate 'X' for nonbinary individuals.

The ruling supports individuals' gender identity on official documents.

This decision builds upon a 2017 ruling allowing transgender people to change their birth certificates.
