Thanks for correcting me. I was almost certain that I read something a while ago about the new Selbstbestimmungsgesetz but couldn’t remember if I had just imagined it. Yay, Germany. We’re making progress. It might be very slow and the AfD is growing at a worrying pace but at least, for the moment, we’re still progressing (unless our politicians are bribed by the automobile industry again)

You can tell your friend yourself that it is actually much rarer in the EU to have non-binary options for official documents than I thought. And those that do only have it for citizens or permanent residents. In Germany, for example, you have the option to put Diverse on your ID and other national official documents, but only if you have a medical certificate that confirms yourself as being intersex. So transgender people or other non-binaries are not included and do not have this option.
