Washington Post column calls for gender to be removed from U.S. passports
Fox News
A Washington Post column by Abeni Jones called for U.S. passports to remove gender options in an effort to promote a safer experience for transgender travelers.
The U.S. State Department, in conjunction with the Biden administration, announced in June 2021 that passport applicants would soon have the option of marking X as their gender, a third gender marker as an alternative to male (M) or female (F). The change went into effect on April 11 and the department announcement claimed the change was enacted in an effort to "advance inclusion."
