Just another lie to be told.Biden will allow Americans to choose non-binary as a gender option on passports and let applicants self-identify instead of providing medical certificates
The Biden administration said on Wednesday it would add a third gender option on U.S. passports for people who do not define as male or female, in a victory for non-binary and intersex Americans.
Wednesday's announcement adds the United States to a growing number of countries offering a third - or 'X' - option on passports, including Canada, Germany, Australia and India.
The State Department also said that Americans would no longer need to provide medical certification if they wanted to change the gender on their passport.
'The Department of State is committed to promoting the freedom, dignity, and equality of all people — including LGBTQI+ persons,' Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement announcing the policy change on the final day of Pride Month.
He added that the State Department has also 'begun moving towards adding a gender marker for non-binary, intersex, and gender non-conforming persons applying for a passport or [Consular Reports of Birth Abroad].'

You obviously didn't see the chart in there showing the huge dip in happiness at the end of the Trump term and the resulting bump to a record high under Biden.
Number 3 was also a Trump thing. He set May 2021 as the date. Biden came in and pushed it back to 9/11/21. And has now pushed the 9/11 date up, but still later than Trumps date.The first two are disingenuous as they originated under Trump. Do you really want to credit Biden for continuing what Trump started?
As for number 3, if all goes well and it actually happens, then yes, he deserves credit.
I just hope he doesn't try to redeploy those troops to some other country we shouldn't be involved in.
