US issues first passport with 'X' gender designation

[jstern]

The US issued its first-ever passport with an “X” gender designation Wednesday to a Colorado Navy veteran who had been locked in a legal battle with the State Department over the issue since 2015.

Dana Zzyym, 63, confirmed that they had received the document in a statement issued through Lambda Legal.

State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement that all passport applicants will be able to choose to identify as “X” rather than “F” or “M,” for “female” or “male,” once the department completes the required “system and form updates” early next year.

“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 added.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced June 30 that the department would offer the “X” gender marker on passport applications. On the same day, Blinken announced that applicants would have the option of identifying as male or female and would not need medical certification if their choice differs from the gender listed on other documents like a birth certificate

That might not be controversial enough.

Remember, this is how they keep weak members of society loyal and subservient. Constantly create narratives they use to claim the other side is a threat to their rights and safety. Right wing media will predictably clown this topic, which will keep “gender fluidity advocates and their allies” scared and loyal to Big Dem.

The weaker and more vulnerable someone is, the more prone to dependence. Thats why big government targets the outcasts, the disenfranchised, the frightened... because theyre the ones most likely to seek protection. They promise these people some small amount of theoretical security, in exchange for the keys to all the unmolested corruption a politician could ever want.

Just keep throwing an Orange Man or a flu virus at the public here or there to keep em scared and loyal, and the rest is easy as pie.

When you have a significant number of limp wrists in the public (millertime, rr3, bladefd, primetime, realmenwearspink, loco 50, laker legend, burninghammer, jailblazer, ridinks, jtoizzo, etc etc) theres just too much opportunity for manipulation. These are men who are mentally and socially very weak, and therefore susceptible to domination thru governance. What other choice do they have?

Is "X" just a catch-all for 152 new genders identified in the past couple of years?

Passports are something that younger people use to travel about from place to place. It's okay if you don't understand maybe you should just rest and have a cup of tea.

Oh dear I know I know. I'm sure you have a good 5 or maybe even 10 years left. Plenty of time! I'm really sorry I didn't mean to frighten you.
