“If a pending Lambda Legal lawsuit against the U.S. State Department gets resolved in favor of an intersex person named Dana Zzym, then we could start seeing non-binary gender markers on U.S. passports in the future as well.

For transgender people who do identify as male or female, passport gender marker changes have been a gateway to widespread policy reform, as the last eight years have proved; for those outside the binary, such a change would be like rocket fuel for a movement that is just getting started.”

Big thanks to The Daily Beast and staff writer Samantha Allen for supporting our own Dana Zzyym’s historic battle for a non-binary passport, and all non-binary people’s efforts for equality and recognition, in the excellent article, “How The Non-Binary Revolution Hit the West Coast.”
