Brazil court grants gender-neutral ID in historic victory

Gary Carnivele May 16, 2025

A nonbinary person in Brazil has been granted official documents with a neutral gender marker for the first time in a historic and unanimous court victory.

The case involves a person who originally requested to be recognized as male on their official documents after they started hormone replacement therapy, but they later regretted making this decision and appealed to the Supreme Court of Justice in Brasilia. The person’s name has not been published in the media.

A panel of five judges at the court ruled in their favor, with Judge Nancy Andrighi writing in her ruling: “This human being must be suffering greatly. To undergo surgery, take hormones, become what she thought would be good for her and then realize it was not the case.”

The case is currently sealed, but it represents the first time that someone in Brazil has been able to get gender neutral official documents in the country, according to the AP.
