Should U.S. Passports Include a Third Gender Option?
Here’s the Scoop
As of April 11, Americans can select a third gender option when applying for a passport.
“We’re setting a precedent as the first US federal government agency to offer the ‘X’ gender marker on an identity document,” said Douglass Benning, principal deputy assistant secretary for consular affairs at the State Department.
“The provision of an ‘X’ gender marker option is important because human beings do not always fit within a male or female category around the world, the lived realities of transgender intersex, non-binary and gender-nonconforming persons reflects that there is a wider spectrum of humanity than is represented by a binary sex designation on passports,” said Jessica Stern, U.S. Special Envoy to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Persons.

This is just the same of putting a star of David on your clothes, as they did with the Jewish people in the 40’s✡️✡️✡️

Maybe someone who marks X will commit a crime, such a murdering one of the people who were part of this decision and be unable to be caught for lack of an accurate description. That’d be poetic justice. This self-indulgent crap has gotten way out of hand.

The passport should read “gender assigned at birth.” Genders are assigned by God, not some asinine liberal judge.
