    Hello All,

    I was wondering if you could help me out. In Ireland, are there more recognised genders (legally) than just male and female.

    I see that in the New York, you can legally be recognised from a listing of 31 genders. In Australia it is 33.

    I have had a look on TENI and a few other places, but can not seem to find an answer.

    Any help appreciated :)

    Under the current version of gender recognition legislation, you can apply to be recognised as male or female, so it's logical that it is just those two in Irish law.

    Trans or not, it's still a binary system in Ireland. Peoples' heads will start exploding if you try and change that.

    My understanding is Australia has extended an "other" gender option (X instead of M or F on paperwork) to some individuals after legal requests have been made, but I sincerely doubt they have legal recognition of 33 genders. I think that's in reference to a survey or a census or something.

    You can imagine my confusion now ;)
