X Gender Marker Available On U.S. Passports Starting April 11 by Gospelpreacher1: 8:38pm On Mar 31, 2022
Gender X: U.S. passports will include option for "X" gender marker starting April 11, 2022, State Department says

Americans applying for a U.S. passport will be able to identify with the gender designation "X" beginning on April 11, the State Department announced Thursday, in recognition of Trans Visibility Day. The move intends to make federal documents more inclusive for transgender, intersex, nonbinary and gender-nonconforming people.

"We're setting a precedent as the first US federal government agency to offer the 'X' gender marker on an identity document," Douglass Benning, principal deputy assistant secretary for consular affairs at the State Department, told reporters.

Applicants will be permitted to select gender "X" on their passport application form, even if it doesn't match the gender on their birth certificate or other documents.

While the gender "X" marker will be available for routine services next month, the State Department plans to roll out the option for other documents — including passport cards, expedited and consular reports of birth abroad — beginning in late 2023.

"The X means unspecified or another gender identity," said Jessica Stern, U.S. Special Envoy to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Persons.

Stern said that while the policy change recognizes the "true identity" of the passport holder, it will not create new definitions nor rights.

"The provision of an 'X' gender marker option is important because human beings do not always fit within a male or female category around the world, the lived realities of transgender intersex, non-binary and gender-nonconforming persons reflects that there is a wider spectrum of humanity than is represented by a binary sex designation on passports," Stern said.

I'm just laughing at them.
Soon even the X will not be good enough for them, lesbians will get tired of being lumped in the same group and ask for their own L, gays for G, bisexuals for B, Transsexuals for T, and queers (whatever that means) for Q.

The truth is that Humans are still evolving
We humans have been transforming from one form to the other for milions of years
We went from

1.Dryopithecus
2.Ramapithecus.
3.Australopithecus.
4.Homo Erectus.
5.Homo Sapiens (present day humans)
6. ??

And we are still evolving.

I guess The next type of human will be genderless and half human mixed and half A.I

Lets call it Homo Roboticus grin

The United States have very very bad ideals and zero morality.
A quick check will show you that they are about the only country
that is promoting this g.ay nonsense.

I wonder why that is a priority to them.

They started the issue of gender equality, making millions of ladies toxic
and bad. The likes of developed worlds like China, Russia and others are still
very traditional focused.

From bad dressing, to hard drugs and dirty acts, they exhibit these things
on the TV.

Talk about disrespect all in the name of modernity. Many young generations are now very
rude.

Some dirty ones will be blaming zodiac signs.

What is even good about them? invading people's lands and destroying them.

Of course, that is where it'll all end.

It is only the US and their neighbour that panders to people's delusions

I hope the holders of those passports never have to go farther than the North Americas, because for most of the world, you will still be identified as the gender (sex) you were born by.

If you die and your body rots, your skeletal form will still be as the skeleton of either a male or a female. Nothing in between, that is the beauty of DNA and the human form.

That righteousness of a man, I really feel pity for his kids and neighbors. I initially thought he was a teenager until I found out he's actually above 40 years from one of his comments.

I think there's some form of drugs or chemicals fed to Lord's chosen members, few of them I know in real life have completely lose touch with reality.

One once told me 'I'll go to hell because of my haircut, my hairstyle isn't "Christlike"
I simply told him "If your God is petty enough to send me to hell for 'Obama' hairstyle, then you need to question your sanity about who you're serving.

Insanity is one of the requirements of being a member of that church

These people have completely lost it undecided
They seem to have prioritized this over every other sector in their country.

Just the other day while the war was raging in Ukraine and with China making new discoveries and modernizing their army, the US army was busy talking about how to better integrate LGBTQ in their ranks embarassed
