In any case, despite having an "indefinite" sex in certain official identity documents, all newborn intersex people must have their sex marked as "Male or Female" which will be defined by their Parents in the end, thus demolishing every type of gender identity different from that of Man or Woman. | Paraguay does not recognize non-binary identities. Intersex people must be registered as Male or Female. |
