translated from Spanish: “We are not an X”: the claim of a young man to Fernández in the delivery of the DNI

An uncomfortable moment was experienced this Wednesday during the presentation of the new DNI for non-binary people in the Casa Rosada with the presence of Alberto Fernández and a young man who after receiving the document displayed a t-shirt that said “We are not an X”. While Fernández and Gómez Alcorta read with astonishment the contents of the t-shirt, disguising with a smile the discomfort of the moment, a person from the audience raised a poster and shouted reinforced the repudiation of the X.
“We are not an X, the inner feeling is not an X and I want to make that very clear,” he said. The president echoed the claims but defended the use of the X to recognize new gender identity rights.” I listened to the complaint of someone who said that there are other ways and of course there are, for sure, they are included within that X that is an international convention that allows us to open rights within the limits. It is progress, we should not renege on this,” he said. >

According to the regulations, the nomenclature “X” in the field “sex” will comprise the following meanings: non-binary, indeterminate, unspecified, indefinite, uninformed, self-perceived, not recorded; or another meaning with which the person who does not feel included in the male/female binomial could be identified.
