Biden Admin Issues Nonbinary Gender “X” Passport To Navy Veteran

Instead of doing something important, such as rescuing the hundreds of American citizens who are still held hostage by the Taliban in Afghanistan, the United States State Department announced it has issued the first official passport with the gender marker “X,” a change promised by the Biden administration this year to make the documents more “inclusive” for people who identify as nonbinary, intersex, or gender nonconforming.
According to State Department spokesperson Ned Price, the department will be able to offer the option to all passport applicants once it completes updating its systems and forms in early 2022.

“I want to reiterate, on the occasion of this passport issuance, the Department of State’s commitment to promoting the freedom, dignity, and equality of all people – including LGBTQI+ persons,” Price said in a statement on Wednesday.
The department will notify the public via its website when all passport applicants will be able to use the gender “X” marker.
The additional “X” gender follows a federal discrimination lawsuit.
The department announced the change this year in response to a lawsuit filed by Dana Zzyym, an “intersex and nonbinary” Colorado resident who claimed it was impossible to obtain a passport with their accurate gender because the only options were “female” or “male.”

“It’s great news for all intersex and nonbinary people, because it basically says that we can get our passports,” Zzyym told NPR in June. “We don’t have to lie to get our passports. We can just be ourselves.”
Lambda Legal, the law firm that represented Zzyym in their lawsuit, announced on Wednesday that Zzyym was the first person to receive a passport bearing the gender “X” marker.
The United States has joined a growing list of whacky liberal countries that have added additional gender options to their passports, including Canada, Australia, India, Malta, Nepal, and New Zealand.
Additionally, the State Department announced in June that it would immediately begin allowing applicants to select “M” or “F” as their gender without requiring medical certification if their choice does not correspond to their gender on other documents.
From the State Department’s website, “You can now select the gender you would like printed on your U.S. passport, even if the gender you select does not match the gender on your supporting documentation such as a birth certificate, previous passport, or state ID. We no longer require medical certification to change the gender marker on your U.S. passport.”

In contrast, China, the number one threat facing America and the world, has not wasted its time and money on useless woke nonsense like adding new genders to passports. Instead, China is focused on building hypersonic nuclear missiles that are capable of reaching the United States.
The biggest difference between China and America is that China’s leaders are determined to become the world’s number one superpower by any means necessary, whereas America’s leaders are hell-bent on destroying their own country.
