The answer by Douglas was, of course, also correct. But unfortunately it was not in the target language.

agree  philgoddard: You can't abbreviate it, though, as no one will know what "d" means.

disagree  Björn Vrooman: This is completely wrong. D stands for disabled in the States; what you got in the glossary now is Denglish. If at all, and you don't need it here, it's X, as posted in the discussion.

Reference: 'The Impact of the Third Gender for Employers in Germany'

Reference information:
'In this context, if no neutral job title can be found, it may be appropriate to include designations in brackets. The previous addition “(m/f)” does not take account of the third gender and therefore will likely give rise to a presumption of discrimination on the grounds of gender. The mere notice that “m/f” is deemed to include all individuals will likely not suffice to avoid any sanctions under anti-discrimination law. Based on the term “inter/diverse” suggested by the BVerfG, the designation in brackets should be extended to read “(m/f/d),” “(m/f/i)” or “(m/f/x)”.'

'Für was stehen die Abkürzungen (m/w/d), (m/w/x), (m/w/i) und (m/w/a)?
Die Buchstaben m, w und d stehen für die drei Geschlechtsbezeichnungen. „m“ ist die Abkürzung für männlich. „w“ meint weiblich. So weit so bekannt. Der Buchstabe „d“ ist neu und steht für „divers“. Das „x“ steht für „nicht-definiert“, das „a“ für anders. Der Buchstabe „i“ kürzt intersexuell ab.'
