“For as long as I can remember, I have known that I am not a woman. Now I have tried to be a boy and I know that I am not either.”
Not a man. It’s not a woman. Should Sweden introduce a third gender? Ida Persson Landenberg and Åsa Sjöström have met Charlie, Ames, and Kaj, who long for society to recognize them for who they are.
Oliver Zivcovic and Charlie Wedin have been a couple since last spring. Charlie is not binary and thinks that everyone should think more about when it is really relevant to “assign gender” to someone, attribute a gender to them. “I remember, for example, we had gender-separated joints in the dining room when I was younger,” says Charlie Wedin.
Non-binary is the word used for someone who does not identify as male or female, both, and somewhere in between or whose gender identity varies over time. But so far there are only two legal genres in Sweden. For several years, however, they have voted in favor of introducing a third.
