A new gender option: non-binary
"X" will soon be seen on driver's licenses and birth certificates in California.
In addition to male and female, non-binary will be recognized as a new gender option. The state law, S.B.179 was approved in October 2017 and will be effective starting in September 2019.
Residents can start requesting legal gender change from September 2018.

Transgender Law Center provides a state-by-state overlook of how to change gender on birth certificates. The map displays states that forbid the change, states that require only a court order or doctor's note, and states that require surgery before the certificate can be amended.
