Personally, I think our new passports should have pictures of clowns on them so the world really knows you’re from America!

U.S. citizens will be able to select the gender neutral “X” as a marker on their passport books starting April 11, the State Department said Wednesday.
It made the announcement on the eve of Transgender Day of Visibility, an annual day on March 31 that celebrates transgender people.
The U.S. special diplomatic envoy for LGBTQ rights, Jessica Stern, said adding an X gender marker to U.S. passports is “a momentous step.”
With gender-neutral “X” becoming widely available April 11, Stern said, the U.S. joins other countries that “recognize their gender options on passports without additional verification beyond the person’s own affirmation.”
