Passport Sanity Act

The Passport Sanity Act (S 3011) requires U.S. passports, passport cards, and Consular Reports of Birth Abroad to only display "male" or "female" gender designations, banning the "X" gender option. It directly affects individuals who currently use or seek to use the "X" designation on these travel documents. The bill mandates that the Department of State stop issuing any covered document with the "X" gender marker and limits applications to only the two standard gender choices. This is a concrete policy change altering how gender is recorded on federal travel documents.
