Passports: Only two gender options, based on biological birth.

This bill aims to restrict gender options on passports to only male or female. This means citizens applying for a passport will only be able to select the gender that matches their biological sex at birth, determined by physical and genetic characteristics. These changes could impact individuals whose gender identity does not align with their biological sex.
Key points
Passports will only be issued with a male or female gender designation.
The gender selected on a passport must match the individual's biological sex, determined by physical and genetic characteristics present at birth.
Individuals whose gender identity differs from their biological sex may face challenges in obtaining a passport with their preferred gender designation.
