Biden Admin Unveils ‘X’ As Third Gender Identity For Immigrants
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), an agency under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the Biden administration, announced the addition of a third gender option, “X,” for immigrants seeking U.S. citizenship.
This development was revealed through a statement on the USCIS website, heralding a departure from the traditional binary gender choices of “Male (M)” and “Female (F)” on USCIS forms and related documents.
“We have revised Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, to provide a third gender option, ‘X,’ defined as ‘Another Gender Identity,'” stated USCIS, underscoring its commitment to fostering inclusivity within the naturalization process.
USCIS also emphasized that updates to the USCIS Policy Manual would reflect this form revision and forthcoming changes to incorporate a third-gender option.
The decision to introduce the “X” gender option accompanies a policy change aimed at addressing significant barriers faced by individuals who do not identify strictly as male or female. A policy alert from USCIS underscored the challenges posed by the lack of an additional gender option, highlighting administrative hurdles encountered by requestors who submit documents with a gender other than “M” or “F.”
The folks that can't tell the difference between male and female expect the rest of us to believe that only they are capoable of running the country
