Nonbinary could soon be a legal gender option in California

This is going in the right direction IMO. There is a small but growing more visible population of us who identify as neither male or female and for us to be legally recognised as nonbinary is a big step forward.

I don't see the rationale - gender is not a social construct. What someone identifies as can hardly be taken as their gender, since gender is precisely binary. To add an 'option' to this is to change what gender means. LGBT activists seem to me to have gone off on a confused tangent.

This is definitely very good news. I know in Oregon they had something similar and I figured California would follow behind shortly (:

This becomes interesting, at least for me, since North Carolina said you can only use the bathroom indicated by your birth certificate.*

*Actually, it was already interesting, since many states merely require a note from your Doctor to change the sex on your birth certificate, and no surgical procedures. But this just adds one more layer to the cake.
