While the Trump administration is re-re-defining gender and returning to a ’two genders’ scientific definition, the Netherlands are issuing gender-neutral passports.
The first one having just been issued to Leonne Zeegers, 57, who selected gender designation X instead of M for man or V for woman.
Leonne was raised a boy but in 2001 had surgery to become female, now identifying as intersex. It was Zeegers’ lawsuit that had judges ruling that preventing a registration as gender neutral was a “violation of private life, self-determination and personal autonomy”.
There are around four per cent of Dutch neither identifying as male or female, the BBC reports. It is still up to the courts to decide if an individual should receive an X designation for gender.
Countries that offer gender-neutral passports: Argentina, Australia, Canada, Denmark, India, Malta, Nepal, New Zealand and Pakistan.
Currently the UK only allows male or female, as a High Court challenge to passport rules was rejected in June.
This is so twisted and messed up! How will a country like Romania for example react to such a passport? They would probably view it as FAKE. IT, THING (we don’t know how IT self identifies, as he or she, so we’re gonna call it a IT or thing) would even probably end up in jail. Why give Romania as an example? They just recently held a referendum on gay marriage and guess how it all came out.
93.4% of the population voted AGAINST gay marriage. The answers you see there as YES and NO is not for a question like “Do you want to legalize gay marriage?” but its for a question like “Would you want the Romanian parliament to modify the constitution and specify that marriage is only between men and women?” and 93.4% voted YES.
The referendum was however nullified because only 21% of the population showed up to vote, not meeting the minimum required of 30%. Anyway how would this thing be treated in such a country with such a freaky passport? Wouldn’t they be like “WTF? Is this drag queen with a fake passport making fun of us? Let’s arrest him boys!” So where exactly would it be able to use this passport? Sweden?
