why does the passport even need a placeholder for gender? surely that parameter serves no purpose for inter-country travel?
Probably for the same stupid, “medical emergency professionals” propaganda that maga is always pushing. Fucking facsitatties!
Holy shit that’s actually kinda huge. I know several people who had renewed their passports, and the government had reverted their gender to their birth sex, so the passports were essentially useless - or at the very least, extremely troublesome to use
They can’t, but they will anyway.
I’m worried because I need to renew mine soon from outside the US. I fully expect that SCROTUS will reverse this and codify it before I’m eligible to renew.
How soon? The guidelines for renewal are a year before it expires, but I think they might have still counted mine as a year when it was like, 1 year and 350 days or something like that. Rounding down, basically.
