This legislation, titled the "Passport Sanity Act," aims to restrict gender designations on official United States travel and identity documents. It specifically prohibits the Secretary of State from issuing passports, passport cards, or Consular Reports of Birth Abroad that include an unspecified (X) gender designation . The bill mandates that all applications for these "covered documents" must only offer male and female as gender designation options. Consequently, the Department of State would be prevented from issuing any such document with a non-binary gender marker, thereby standardizing gender identification on these federal records to a binary system.
