Americans planning to travel abroad don’t need to identify which gender they are on their passports according to a new Biden administration rule announced on Wednesday.

The interim policy removes the previous requirement that forced transgender people to provide supporting documentation from a physician that they had undergone a gender transition. 

“You can now select the gender you would like printed on your U.S. passport, even if the gender you select does not match the gender on your supporting documentation such as a birth certificate, previous passport, or state ID,” the State Department announced. “We no longer require medical certification to change the gender marker on your U.S. passport.”

New or current passport holders have the ability to select their preferred gender marker on new applications. “You can select “M” or “F” which are the gender markers currently available,” the statement went on. “We are working to add a gender marker for non-binary, intersex, and gender non-conforming persons as soon as possible.”

The new rule is the first substantial change to federal passport policy when the Obama administration amended the rules to allow transgender people to update their documentation post-transition in 2010.

By the end of the year, non-binary identifying individuals are expected to be able to use an “X” gender marker, rather than identifying as male or female. 

Currently, twenty states and Washington, D.C. are issuing driver’s licenses and state IDs with “X” gender markers. Illinois, Indiana, and New York have passed legislation to launch gender-neutral IDs in the near future.  

The ACLU calls the Biden administration’s announcement a “victory for trans, non-binary and intersex people who have long sought accurate federal IDs.”

    1. That’s because Jill had them removed years ago. By all accounts this must have been where his brains were too.

  1. You mean those people have no penis or vagina? I think it pretty easy to determine what sex you are if you just look down. If you have a penis you’re male & if you have a vagina you’re female. How hard is that?
    This SHIT has gone too far for too long. It’s time to get back to reality & regardless what you feel you are. When it comes time to officially determine your sex, it comes down to what plumbing you have.

    1. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Once liberals get the authoritarian bit in their teeth, they’ll ram these issues down our throats until we choke, then they’ll enjoin the government (As seen here..) in their campaigns to ‘rule’ on their ‘mandates’. I compare these shenanigans to Plate Spinning Acts. They’re mainly distractions, but liberals will pretend to be vitally concerned with such drivel, and derive a moral authority to redress non-compliant people with their opprobrium and polished indignity. If someone does rebuke this authority, and plants a well-aimed poke upon their runny noses, they’ll grab a lawyer on your butt with a nose so big, if they tried to carve that advocate’s image into Mt. Rushmore, they would run out of granite.

    2. It demands too much for globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep to look down and see where they pee from and to know which 1 of 2 genders they are . . . . .

  2. So this is our future. We are now genderless. Our sex organs have been declared obsolete!!! Is this being taught in medical schools now? Will our doctors tell us what we are, the new definition of sex is, who they are? Are all medical books being re-written?

  3. Good luck getting into another country if your passport does not say “male” or “female.”

    1. Cuomo is CATHOLIC> Biden is CATHOLIC., Pelosi is CATHOLIC. South of the border there are all CATHOLICS and have a perfect record of 100% failure. Vote for ANY CATHOLIC and you vote for 100% failure.

  4. Biden has lost whatever mind he had left. It is almost like he is trying to transform our world into a one world government and anything goes according to the government. What is wrong with him? What has happened to the Democrat party? This is so unreal

    1. And the libby snow flake sheep, parents that sacrifice their daughters to globalist puppet, chester the molester biden . . . . .

    1. I identify as a multi-billionaire although my bank account doesn’t. How far would I get with this new identity in the purchase of a Bugatti Veyron? Beach front property in the Hamptons?

  5. So what about the foreign countries you fly to that require actual sexual identity and don’t believe in this nonsense?

  6. This is the result of the political infamy that was committed on November 3, 2020, when Americans watched in horror over how their votes were systematically sabotaged through the fraudulence and corruption that was committed by Democrats and the liberal media, in what has to be the greatest act of political insurrection in American history, all because of a lying and demented campaign that was well planned and carried out, and their achievement resulted in a selected President, and one, who’s going to turn the USA into a 21st century Sodom & Gomorrah as he and his administration grossly perverts our entire civil rights venue into a big LGBTQ swamp, and that’s way past being acceptable! this Obama Manchurian candidate is hellbent on taking America down into a dark path, and already, there is talk about our judicial system being set up for a systematic coup that makes all these evils possible, and that is highly unacceptable especially since it guarantees the dark road that we’re headed for-and we need to fight back and stop this from happening!

  7. What the hell is going on??? It can’t be ALL democrats agree with biden/harris COMMUNIST REGIME!!! I mean that there’s got to be a few dems that see the DOWNWARD SPIRAL OF AMERICA!!! SERIOUSLY, biden has caused CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE, HE LIES ON CAMERA ( he doesn’t care) don’t 1 or 2 dems see the insanity??? biden puts AMERICA AND AMERICANS LAST!!! WE STILL HAVE TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS, BUT biden/harris WILL SEND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ALL OVER OUR COUNTRY, NO COVID TEST, NO COVID VACCINES GIVEN, AND THEY DON’T WEAR MASKS!!! COME ON NOW DEMS, YOU HAVE TO SEE SOME OF bidens BS, THERE’S ENOUGH THAT’S BEEN DONE TO US AMERICANS THAT’S SERIOUSLY BAD!!! THIS MUST END!!!

  8. You can see Obama’s hands all over Biden’s ideas and actions, but Joe isn’t EVIL enough to think of all these dumb things on his own. Biden knows the 2020 election was a sham, but he wants to affect as much “change” for his former boss before the American citizens and taxpayers come to take Joe away for good. If someone were to punch Biden in his nose, Obama would scream in pain from it. Please America, punch Biden in his nose.

  9. I wounder what other countries will do when a person gives a passport with say F marked but they are actually M or even when you mark that “X” gender thing? Maybe these other countries will just get the hell out of here you moron or jail for illegal entry or???

  10. If the gender on a person’s passport need not be factual, then why should a passport have that information? A passport should contain only factual information, not what the person desires that it to contain.

  11. Gender is determined at the time of conception that is when sex chromosomes alien as XX or XY. The belief that a person can decide to change this fact is impossible (would have to change the genetic content of every cell in their body). Psychiatry describes the belief that an impossibility is possible as delusional. Actually living your life as someone else defines schizophrenia. This behavior’s tolerance in society does not change the reality of it and should not be construed to substitute reality with fantasy.

  12. I don’t bother to fly. However I do remember the TSA inspections of body parts as seen on the x-ray machine. will it appear ridiculous to everyone when discovered the genderless have body parts and are not fluid. only village idiots and criminals will pose as genderless.

  13. Can “genderless” pretenders suffer from..oh..let’s say, prostate cancer? How about cervical cancer? Can the experience genderless pattern baldness? A bunch of sick f…s.

  14. I identify as a young man and a fantastic basketball player, and I demand that the Los Angeles Lakers acknowledge my chosen identity by hiring me to play on their team. Otherwise, my self esteem will be severely damaged and I’ll sue them–in Californication.

  15. One more step to make it nearly impossible to identify and stop terrorists…no one will have a clue who they are looking for on an all points lookout…

  16. What? Hard rock anthracite coal miner Joe? Bethlehem Pennsylvania steel worker Joe don’t recognize gender? Look out or Corn Pop is gonna get ya Joe. He–, I’m older than the POTUS Josip and when I take a gander at them wimmen I know there are two sexes. May be that he needs new glasses.
