Following an executive order by Donald Trump to take business, the US Department of State has suspended processing card programs with” X” female signs and changes to gender identity, according to an internal report from the Guardian.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a private internal memo to staff personnel on Thursday to impose new strict standards for established documentation, according to a source with access to The Guardian’s source.
” The policy of the United States is that an adult’s sex is no changeable”, the message read.
The instructions from Rubio identify that” sex, and no female, shall be used” in formal documentation, including passports and diplomatic birth reports worldwide.
According to the executive order, personnel at the State Department was given instructions on Thursday to” suspend any application where the student is seeking to change their gender symbol” and to” suspend any program where the student is seeking to change their gender marker.” These rules have an impact on both current and upcoming card programs.
State identification documents must only be used in accordance with the executive order, which calls for” an individual’s eternal natural classification as either male or female.”” Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government”
The State Department began issuing visas in April 2022 with the non-binary third gender symbol” X.” Despite the fact that current passports with” X” verification are still valid, problems will arise during renewal procedures, according to White House data that Notus has been given. Rubio’s statement states that “guidance on existing visas containing an X sexual marker will occur via another channels.”
