The State Department expects to be able to offer the option to nonbinary, intersex and gender-nonconforming Americans in early 2022.

DENVER — The United States has issued its first passport with an “X” gender designation — a milestone in the recognition of the rights of people who don’t identify as male or female — and expects to be able to offer the option to nonbinary, intersex and gender-nonconforming people early next year, the State Department said Wednesday.

The department did not announce to whom the passport was issued. A department official declined to say whether it was for Dana Zzyym, an intersex Colorado resident who has been in a legal battle with the department since 2015, saying the department does not usually discuss individual passport applications because of privacy concerns.

Zzyym was born with ambiguous physical sexual characteristics but was raised as a boy and underwent several surgeries that failed to make Zzyym appear fully male, according to court filings. Zzyym served in the Navy as a male but later came to identify as intersex while working and studying at Colorado State University. The department’s denial of Zzyym’s passport prevented Zzyym from being able to travel to a meeting of Organization Intersex International in Mexico.

Let’s create words that have no meaning other than to make some mentally deranged person feel better.

So stupid, with everything going on in the world this is important?

Ridiculous

Mentally ill transgender people and those supporting them are creating a security threat with this. They can simply change their gender designatio and appearance anytime they want and the X stays.

So now the state department is placating the mentally ill. Lovely.

Intersex I understand because it is a medical condition that can be verified, but how are people going to prove that they are really non binary or gender-nonconforming?

This is not a good idea from national security standpoint
