Which countries offer gender-neutral passports?
America introduces a third-gender option on its passports. It’s not the first country to do so
The politics of gender divides America. But on April 11th, the State Department introduced a third-gender option on its passports. Besides “F” for “female” and “M” for “male”, citizens can now choose “X”. The State Department says the “X” stands for “unspecified or another gender identity”. Jessica Stern, America’s special diplomatic envoy for LGBTQI+ rights, hailed the decision as “momentous”.
