NIN Web Desk : (Dr. Subhrajyoti Chattopadhyay); The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in an email to everyone, “America’s policy is that no one can change their gender”. Those who identify as gender-neutral or non-binary will have their passport applications suspended. Trump in the bill for the second time and sitting in power is changing America.
This time, Trump made a big change in the country’s policy. There was no place for any third gender apart from men and women. Donald Trump has made it clear that both genders will be recognized i.e. Women and men. This is the biological truth whereas any gender beyond this will not be recognized. It is learned that the Trump administration has already stopped all passport applications for those who had an ‘X’ marked in their gender or applied for gender change in their passports.
What is this ‘X’ gender?People who do not want to identify as male or female or any other gender identify them as non-binary. Besides, those who have changed their gender, were also given the facility of identification as ‘X’ gender by the US State Department. Now, this policy was in effect from April 2022 after Trump came into power is lifting that rule.
The new administration argues that ‘sex’, not ‘gender’, is the proper division to identify a person.Aa per sources there has already been a storm of criticism with this decision of the Trump administration.
