The Trump administration has told U.S. Post Offices and other filers of passports to stop allowing citizens to choose an “X” for their gender on U.S. passport applications.
The so-called “gender neutral” option allowed by the radical Biden administration has been removed from the passport process, according to reports.
Per the Associated Press:
Trump, shortly after taking office on Monday, signed an executive order requiring federal agencies to only give the option of male or female, as part of an array of actions aimed at quickly reversing policies enacted by his predecessor.
“In line with that Order, the Department’s issuance of US passports will reflect the individual’s biological sex as defined in the Executive Order,” a US State Department spokesperson said Friday night.
The spokesperson said the department “is no longer issuing US passports with X markers” and has “suspended processing of all applications seeking a different sex marker than that defined by the terms in the Executive Order.”
“Guidance regarding previously issued X sex marker passports is forthcoming,” the spokesperson added, saying updates will be posted on the department’s travel website.
This is the right move. You can make believe all you want that you are a man “turned into a girl.” Your mental disease is your issue. But your official identification should not reflect your mental disorder. It should be based on facts, not fantasy.
