The US State Department has announced that it had issued the first American passport with an "X" gender marker, designed to give non-binary, intersex and gender nonconforming people a marker other than male or female on their travel document, according to a statement.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced in June that the X marker would be offered as an option on passports, following other countries including Canada, Germany, Australia and India, which already offer a third gender on documents.State Department spokesperson Ned Price said in a statement that the United States was moving toward adding the "X" gender marker as an option for those applying for US passports or Consular Reports of Birth Abroad.
Mr Price did not say who the first "X" gender passport was issued to, but civil rights organisation Lambda Legal said its client Dana Zzyym was the recipient. Congratulations to Dana, non-binary people, and thanks to the Biden administration for changing the law around gender markers on passports. Non-binary representation matters, and US passport policy can have an international effect on acceptance.
