(Worthy News) – The State Department on Thursday announced that US Citizens will be able to choose “X” as their gender rather than “Male” or “Female” on their passports, while the Transportation Security Administration said it will start offering “gender-neutral screening” at airport checkpoints.
The announcements, which came on the “Transgender Day of Visibility,” follow the Biden administration’s promises to be more “inclusive” of the LGBT+ community.
The TSA announced that it received $18.6 million “to complete the development, testing, and deployment of algorithm updates” for its Advanced Imaging Technology. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
