Third gender
The third gender is used to categorize persons who can not, or do not want to be, referred to as men or women in the classical sense. On 10 October 2017, the German Federal Constitutional Court obliged the legislator to allow a third gender concept in the birth register until the end of 2018. Otherwise it would be necessary to do without a gender entry altogether. Here the third sex is called intersexual. In intersexuals the sexual characteristics are not clear. Chromosomes, gonads, hormones or external genitalia can exhibit both male and female characteristics.
According to experts, there are more than 60 variants of the third sex. For example, some intersex people look like a woman, but they have a Y chromosome in the genome. Others produce male hormones, even though they were born with a female genitalia. There are also intersexuals with two genitals. Due to lack of education and social distancing, it came again and again to discrimination of the third sex. It is estimated that between 80,000 and 120,000 intersex people currently live in Germany.
