The unidentified traveler was allowed to choose an “X” instead of an “F” or “M,” for female or male, in the “sex” section of the federally issued document, the State Department announced Wednesday.

“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,” Ned Price, a spokesman for the department, said in a statement.

The joke’s on them. Most countries won’t honor falsified passports.

Countries should require a blood test for entry.

It’d be a hoot if the church raptured this week and left the US government with their implicit acceptance of something so fundamental against God’s creation.

“X” is that to honor the high suicide rates among transgender people?

Seems to me, it will just make it that much easier when when of these X types foolishly visits the non western world, to be promptly escorted off as soon as they arrive, never to be seen again.

Or any Muslim country or possibly Russia or China. Probably many African countries.

That's a good way to ensure that a sovereign nation will deny you entry. “Oh,you won't reveal your gender? Well,we determine an applicant's admissibility partially on his or her gender. If we can't determine your gender you don't get in. You'll be on the next plane home.Next!”

Africa is basically the last place on earth where one can find true Christianity...so it's pretty certain that an “X” will have trouble there.

I doubt they will be allowed to enter Eastern Europe or Russian.
