Allow people who do not conform to the gender binary to properly represent themselves in official forms of identification.
Why is this important?
There are many types of gender identity beyond male or female, but in all legal documents—along with driver's licenses, state ID cards, etc.—you have to conform to the "gender binary", not allowing people who are transgender and/or non-binary (or "genderqueer") to show who they truly are. Changing this will allow them to accurately identify themselves, which is a small but significant step for trans* rights. While not many will be affected, it will greatly benefit those who need it.
It's a small change, but it's a start, and it's huge for those members of the LGBTQ community who have faced discrimination for their gender identity. It is a step towards true equality, so let's pave that path, and make Massachusetts the first state to officially recognize non-binary people.
