**Puerto Rico Allows Nonbinary Gender Marker on Birth Certificates in Historic Ruling: A New Era of Confusion and Cake!**
In a groundbreaking decision that has left many scratching their heads and others reaching for their glitter pens, Puerto Rico has officially allowed nonbinary gender markers on birth certificates. This historic ruling has been hailed as a monumental step forward for gender inclusivity, or as local resident Juan “I Just Want to Be a Cake” Rodriguez put it, “Finally, I can be recognized as the fabulous, gender-fluid pastry I always knew I was!”
The ruling comes after years of advocacy from local activists, including the flamboyant and ever-dramatic Marisol “I’m Not a Regular Mom, I’m a Cool Mom” Gonzalez, who famously declared, “If I can’t be a taco truck on my birth certificate, what’s the point of living?” Marisol’s taco truck dreams may not have been realized, but her efforts have certainly paved the way for others to express their identities—preferably with sprinkles.
In a press conference that was more like a Broadway musical, Governor Pedro “I’m Just Here for the Cake” Pierluisi announced, “This ruling is not just about gender; it’s about allowing everyone to be as confused as I am when I try to order a coffee in the morning.” He then proceeded to demonstrate how to order a “nonbinary latte” that comes with a side of existential crisis.
Critics of the ruling, including local curmudgeon and self-proclaimed “Gender Expert” Donaldo “I’m Still Not Sure What a Nonbinary Is” Martinez, expressed concerns that this could lead to chaos in the birth certificate system. “What’s next? Will we allow people to identify as unicorns? Because I’m pretty sure my cousin Jorge already does,” he grumbled while clutching a stack of outdated birth certificates.
As Puerto Rico embraces this new era of gender identity, one thing is clear: the island is ready to celebrate diversity, one fabulous birth certificate at a time. And if you’re still confused, don’t worry—there’s always cake!
