Rubio halts X passport application

The US state department has frozen all applications for passports with “X” sex markers and changes to gender identity on existing passports, following a new executive order signed by Donald Trump on his first day of office.

In an internal cable obtained by the Guardian, the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, instructed department staff on Thursday to implement the strict new guidelines for official documentation.

“The policy of the United States is that an individual’s sex is not changeable,” the email read.

Rubio’s directive states that “sex, and not gender, shall be used” in official documents including passports and consular report of birth abroad documents.

State department staff on Thursday were ordered to “suspend any application requesting an X sex marker” and to “suspend any application where the applicant is seeking to change their sex marker” from the definition provided in the executive order. The policy affects both current and future passport applications.
