Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed an executive order to stop the state’s health department from amending and issuing birth certificates to assign a nonbinary gender to people who identify as such.
The new executive order (pdf), filed on Nov. 8, said that Stitt and his administration did not approve the settlement agreement from the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) that requires it to amend birth certificates in a manner Stitt said is “not permitted under Oklahoma Law.”
