EXCLUSIVE: First look at United States' first ever gender 'X' passport, given to intersex Navy veteran Dana Zzyym who doesn't identify as male or female, with any American allowed to apply one from 2022

GENDER 'X' : The US has issued its first passport offering a third gender designation, 'X' for those who identify as intersex, the State Department announced Wednesday

An intersex US Navy veteran has become the first recipient of a US passport with its gender marked as 'X', for people who don't identify as male or female.

Dana Zzyym, from Colorado, was identified as the recipient by her law firm Lambda Legal on Wednesday, shortly after the State Department announced the document had been issued.

Zzyym, who uses 'they/them' pronouns, first asked for the change while filling out their passport form in 2015, when the 63 year-old declared they were intersex and wrote 'X' on the form, instead of checking the M box for male or F box for female.

The momentous modification will become an option for all Americans applying for passports from early 2022.

It comes after the department announced in June that it was changing its gender requirements for the forms to be more inclusive of the LGBT community, after facing backlash from some of its members.

Zzyym sued the state department in 2015, petitioning for a shift in policy that would allow for the introduction of intersex-gendered passports.

Zzyym, an intersex activist and former sailor - as well as the first military veteran in the United States to seek a non-binary passport - was initially denied the identification document during a renewal process in 2015, after failing to check male or female on an application.

According to court documents from the subsequent lawsuit, Zzyym wrote 'intersex' above the boxes marked 'M' and 'F' and requested an 'X' gender marker instead in a separate letter.

Zzyym - who uses the gender-neutral pronouns 'they,' 'them' and 'their' - was born with ambiguous physical sexual characteristics but was raised as a boy, and subsequently underwent several surgeries that failed to make them appear fully male, court filings reveal.

Zzyym served in the Navy for several years as a young man, but came to identify as intersex while working and studying at Colorado State University.

The department's denial of Zzyym's passport prevented the intersex activist from being able to travel to a meeting of Organization Intersex International in Mexico, prompting the landmark federal discrimination lawsuit.

However, on Wednesday morning, the New York-based law firm Lamba Legal revealed on Twitter that Zzyym, their client, was the inaugural recipient of the three-gender passport.

Many consider the move a milestone in the recognition of the rights of people who do not identify as male or female. The State Department's newly appointed special diplomatic envoy for LGBTQ rights, Jessica Stern, was among those praising the passport update.

Hmm big one

I think that is great, we shouldn't hold people responsible for nature's mistake. Where is IntersexSherry?

Lol....

The US of A is taking this fundamental human right to a whole new level.

It's evidently so to the extent a Muslim can exercise his right to freedom more than his own Islamic county...

I'm not sure if they should be applauded or criticized but without them the world would be in shambles.

The devil hates mankind because we are Created in GOD'S Image and he has sowed Confusion in the minds of many all in bid to Ensure that they are Destroyed in Hell.

Being an intersex ([i]hermaphroditism) means the person was born with both male and female sex organs. If we are all made in God’s image, does that mean God is also an intersex? Or are intersex people created by the devil?

Why will an intersex burn in hell forever because they were born that way? Does that make sense to you? Even if you can’t empathize with them why not keep shut?

The joke is on you.

If I have the term correct in biology it should be hemophrodites. In such cases early detection helps and surgery can be performed based on the most dominant hormone between both sexes in the body followed by hormonal therapy.

So if am making a joke I'd tell gender X to get self impregnated by self.

It's only in the US

"I almost burst into tears when I opened the envelope, pulled out my new passport, and saw the 'X' stamped boldly under 'sex,'" Zzyym, an intersex and nonbinary U.S. Navy veteran, said in a statement on Wednesday. "It took six years, but to have an accurate passport, one that doesn’t force me to identify as male or female but recognizes I am neither, is liberating."

Zzyym, was born with ambiguous sex characteristics. Lambda Legal said in the statement that Zzyym underwent several "irreversible, painful, and medically unnecessary surgeries" after their parents decided to raise them as a boy.

Unfortunately, shim was born that way.
Shim have no fault in all these.
We are happy shim has been able to be happy for once in life.
We wish shim whatever shim wish 'themselves'!

We Rise.



Modify,
Cos of the people asking about what is Sexual Ambiguity?

Sexual ambiguity is when one's Instruments does not appear to be either male or female – also known as hermaphroditism or intersex.

We all learn everyday �

But Our Holy Book Tells us that.........

Waiting to hear ruling on gender X by 2morow

Lmao, LGBTQI movement keeps shaming the Black and minority movement each day with their achievements...

Less than 10 years agitation and the Queers already have so many results already...
I'm impressed, excited and jealous at the same time.

LGBTIQ IS ONE MOVEMENT

Third gender nawa o... Na wetin trump no allow bdis

Righteousness2, what do you have to say to this

Does not identify as male or Female, what is she doing with breast then ?

They also need to address how they should be addressed. He or she or shim ?

People on NL here said Biden is the best thing that has happened to the US, now see the nonsense rules that are being followed.

Trump wouldn't have allowed this. Crazy liberals/Democrats

America is the Asiwaju of nonsense...

Ok

Do we have natural Transgenders? If yes, then it is not their fault and shouldn't be condemned.

There is nothing like intersex or hermaphrodite. It is a myth.

This crazy person above does not identify as male or female even though he is a male.

As at present, you can identify as anything.

US and rubbish

The USA should not allow these moles coming in the guise of correctness and wokeness, spoil many years of hard work, resilience and determination the great army is reckoned with...

Still the best country in the world, even the Nigeria that has 1000 pastors is worse than America.

Forgive me for calling this guy an idiot but this guy really is a bogus fool and truly is one of the most consistently profound idiots I've seen on this fora since Musiwa.

Kindly tell us who created Hermaphrodites? Was it the devil?? Was it not God I've seen and heard of Intersex people who have conflicts choosing which side they'd like to indentify with due to the maltreatment they receive from societal adjudicators like yourself! If you say that it's the devil that sowed this confusion in them, then you're admitting that the devil has the power to create humans too. If you say that they brought it upon themselves, then that's just you admitting that your god (not my God), is an author of confusion, because they didn't create themselves! They've accepted who they are and the fact that they have no gender, but it's not okay with you because it doesn't conform with your myopic world view.

Read your books and do some research work, OLODO pastor. Don't come online to brandish your ignorance like it's a virtue. Otondo!
