In June 21, 2025, Ember Alves Oliveira became the first person in the state to obtain a birth certificate with an “X” sex marker, through an action by the Public Defender’s Office of the State of Pará (DPE-PA).[3] The Public Defender’s Office sent an official letter to the registry office in Ananindeua requesting the rectification of Ember’s name and gender. However, the request for a gender change was denied based on Provision No. 73 of the National Council of Justice (CNJ), which does not provide for a third gender option. The change of first name was also denied, without any legal justification.[3] Faced with repeated refusals from the registry office, the Public Defender’s Office filed a lawsuit to obtain the rectification. The institution emphasized that maintaining documentation that does not reflect gender identity represents “a source of suffering and anguish, which constitutes a violation of human dignity.”[3]
