| Description | In 2016, a judge changed Sara Kelly Keenan's legal gender from female to non-binary. However, it is unclear whether this option was available to anyone who desired it or only in specific cases, such as Keenan's. Since Sara Kelly Keenan is intersex, it is also unclear whether only intersex individuals could be granted this change. |
