Summary/Abstract: Changes in life of society, the development of science and technology rise new challenges, and one of them is the recognition of a third / non-who or X gender. Gender is no longer just a physical expression, it is a more perceived interpretation. The binary apportionment of gender is no longer so strict, because it leaves the position of a different gender perspective - not as a biological, but social expression, and opens up the requirements for recognizing intersexuality, which, as analyzed in this article, is defined as a multidimensional concept, is often equated with hermaphrodism, the third gender, and etc. Here is an overview of the experience of Germany and Australia with a view to implementing the appropriate legal framework in this area.
