The Biden State Department announced new changes to U.S. passports Wednesday morning and will allow passport holders to list their gender as "X" on the international travel document.

"The Department of State continues the process of updating its policies regarding gender markers on U.S. passports and Consular Reports of Birth Abroad (CRBAs) to better serve all U.S. citizens, regardless of their gender identity. As the Secretary announced in June, the Department is moving towards adding an X gender marker for non-binary, intersex, and gender non-conforming persons applying for a U.S. passport or CRBA," State Department spokesperson Ned Price released in a statement. "The Department has issued the first U.S. passport with an X gender marker. We look forward to offering this option to all routine passport applicants once we complete the required system and form updates in early 2022."

"The Department also continues to work closely with other U.S. government agencies to ensure as smooth a travel experience as possible for all passport holders, regardless of their gender identity," the statement continues. "I want to reiterate, on the occasion of this passport issuance, the Department of State’s commitment to promoting the freedom, dignity, and equality of all people – including LGBTQI+ persons."

The announcement comes just days after Vice President Kamala Harris announced the administration's new "National Gender Strategy."

"President Biden and I released the first ever National Gender Strategy. This is our vision for the future of our nation—one that is bold in strategy and one that this moment calls for."

I can’t wait to hear the screaming when the first bearer of such a passport is denied entry to another country...

[Betty Jane]

It maybe worse if he lands in a Muslim country.

These people are CERTIFIABLY INSANE!!

WHAT does Richard/Rachel Passport say??? M or F?? Now it can be X!!

Have we EVER had such a STUPID CORRUPT GOVERNMENT??

[Vigilanteman]

Wouldn't it be funny if the sane part of the world refused admission to gender "X" passport holders?

They could do this on the grounds that they do not want their morals corrupted.

[Ann Archy]

GREAT POINT!!

[NEMDF]

OK but I am betting that MANY foreign countries will NOT honor passports with X for the gender, so the joke will be on those who choose to identify this way.

Lets see:

1. China is threatening Taiwan.
2. The supply chain in America is broken, causing shortages and shutdowns.
3. We went from an oil and gas exporter, to an importer, and prices are going sky-high.
4. Inflation in general is going sky-high.
5. People are being forced from their jobs because of an illegal vaccination mandate.
6. We just gave the Taliban 83 billion dollars worth of the best US weapons.
7. There are still Americans stranded in Afghanistan.
8. The southern border has collapsed and there is a humanitarian crisis there.
9. Murders and property crimes are vastly increased in most major cities.

But the thing we must worry about, is a National Gender Strategy!

[Sirius Lee]

Shouldn’t it just be XX or XY?

Perfect!

[cgbg]

“X” means first in line to be fed to the Soylent Green machines.

Don’t tell anybody, though.

And, how is this gonna be received in 3rd world countries that throw “pervs” (their language, not mine) off of buildings? Gonna be neat when a hotel registration desk tells the holder to F*Off, “We don’t want your kind here”.

The Biden State Department are children playing make believe.

,i> Wait until the “Wokesters” get to their destination country and find out that their passports won’t be recognized.

My thoughts, exactly. Also, my passport lists "sex," not "gender."

[M Kehoe]

Nuts.

Maybe not?

You decide.

Look in your pants for god’s sake.

It would have to be labeled fiction or comedy.

Ha!!

[proud American in Canada]

I certainly do love comedy, as do most rational people.

Leftists have no sense of humor.
