X Passport

From the BBC:

"First Dutch gender-neutral passport issued"

The Netherlands has issued its first gender-neutral passport. Leonne Zeegers, 57, received a passport with the gender designation X, instead of M for man or V for woman.  Born male, in 2001 Zeegers had surgery to become female, but now identifies as intersex.  Zeegers won a lawsuit, with judges ruling that preventing a registration as gender neutral amounted to a "violation of private life, self-determination and personal autonomy".  About 4% of the Dutch public identifies as neither male nor female, the BBC's Anna Holligan reports from The Hague. Despite the ruling, it remains a matter for courts to decide if an individual should receive an X designation for gender.  Several countries already offer a gender-neutral option in passport applications. They are: Argentina, Australia, Canada, Denmark, India, Malta, Nepal, New Zealand and Pakistan.  Our correspondent says the Zeegers case has galvanised LGBT support groups to ask the Dutch government to change existing legislation, to allow anyone to identify as a third gender.  Currently, all UK passport holders have to specify whether they are male or female. In June a campaigner lost a High Court challenge to the UK passport rules - their bid for an "X" category was rejected. 

^ I've said it before and I'll say it again it would be good if world governments stopped panning to be trendy and stuck with biological facts. A person can be born male, female or have both male and female body parts. A person can also be born a male and have surgery to become a female or be born a female and have surgery to become a male. A person can not be and "X." It is not physically possible. Having an "X" gender (ie. being neither male nor female) is as impossible as being a dragon. If I say that I want to be a dragon then will the countries that offer "X" on their passports and birth certificates legally make me a dragon? I bet they would if it became trendy enough to call yourself a dragon. ^
