Starting April 11, U.S. citizens will now be able to choose an “X” as a third gender option on their passport.
The U.S. State Department is the first federal agency to offer the “X” gender marker on an identity document, Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken said in a statement. The announcement came as the White House marked International Transgender Day of Visibility with a handful of policy changes.
The option will become available on other forms of documentation in 2023, officials said.
