MAHMOUD BENNETT: THE WHITE HOUSE IS MARKING THE INTERNATIONAL TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITY – BY ANNOUNCING SOME SWEEPING NEW MEASURES –
THEY SAY IT’S TO PUSH GENDER
NEUTRALITY
*AND IT STARTS WITH A NEW PRONOUN*
U.S. PASSPORT APPLICATIONS WILL SOON INCLUDE THE GENDER X MARKER – ALLOWING ANYONE TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS THEY CHOOSE
AND AIRPORT SCANNERS WILL BE MODIFIED TO KEEP UP WITH THE NEW X PRONOUN
NEW SYSTEMS – NEW INSTRUCTIONS
THE TSA WILL DISREGARD GENDER WHEN VERIFYING DOCUMENTS AND WILL WORK WITH AIRLINES TO PROMOTE THE NEW GENDER X MARKER ACROSS THE BOARD
THAT’S ACCORDING TO THE DHS. BUT IT DOESN’T STOP THERE – THE NEW GENDER RULES WILL APPLY TO OTHER FEDERAL AGENCIES
LIKE THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION – WHICH IS SCRAPING THE DOCTOR’S NOTE REQUIREMENT. IT’LL ALLOW PEOPLE TO UPDATE THEIR GENDER ON REQUEST AND WITHOUT PROOF OF IDENTITY
SIMILAR CHANGES EXTEND TO FAFSA APPLICATIONS, THE EEOC AND OTHER GOVERNMENT ENTITIES
