As Kentucky’s General Assembly opened its 2023 session on Tuesday, a pre-filed draft bill could prohibit the use of “nonbinary” designations by people who identify as such on birth certificates issued in the state. People who identify as “nonbinary” do not identify with traditional male or female genders.

The legislation, which was pre-filed as an interim draft by Republican state Rep. Bill Wesley in mid-December, would “require the biological sex designation on a birth certificate to be either male or female.”
