Lawsuit seeks 3rd option besides male, female on US passport
DENVER (AP) — A Colorado resident denied a passport for refusing to identify as either male or female on the application form has sued the federal government to try to force the United States to join a handful of other countries that allow people to get travel documents without picking a gender.
Lambda Legal previously joined other groups in pressing the State Department to change its passport policy for transgender people.
Since 2010, people who undergo gender reassignment surgery have been able to change the gender on their passport with certification from a doctor.
