Ban on Using 'X' Gender Marker on Passports and Birth Documents.
This bill aims to eliminate the option for an "unspecified" (X) gender designation on documents issued by the State Department, including passports and Consular Reports of Birth Abroad. If passed, citizens applying for these documents would be legally required to select either male or female. This change directly impacts non-binary and intersex individuals by restricting their official identity documentation options.
Key points
Passports and passport cards will only be allowed to include male or female gender designations.
The option for an "unspecified" (X) gender marker, currently available on some documents, will be legally prohibited.
The prohibition also applies to Consular Reports of Birth Abroad (CRBA).
