Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune Mel Van De Graaff has become one of the first Utahns to receive gender non-binary markers on their government documents, Sept. 26, 2018. Van De Graaff has an "X" on their newly issued driver license and birth certificate rather than an "F" for female or an "M" for male. They spent more than $4,000 and months of time convincing a judge that Utah statute did not prohibit them from receiving gender non-binary markers.
