Gender 'X' is now an option on U.S. passport applications
- trinovantes 5y agoI wonder if this will break any legacy applications that use boolean to store gender
- Vladimof 5y agoWhy don't they remove the gender if you can choose whatever you want?
- swlp21 5y agoProbably because there are international agreements with the minimum fields required on travel documents and "Sex" (Yes, Sex - not Gender) is listed as a required field (though actual values permitted are not specified from what I could see, so 'X' appears to be perfectly valid to add if a country wishes to do so on their documents). https://www.icao.int/publications/Documents/9303_p3_cons_en.pdf https://www.icao.int/publications/Documents/9303_p3_cons_en....
