CBP Enforces Binary Sex Codes and Enhanced US Passport Validation in APIS
Sex Field Requirements: Effective Oct. 14, 2025, CBP systems will only accept “M” (Male) or “F” (Female) in the sex field of APIS transmissions. Any other characters will result in an “X Response-Insufficient Information” error, requiring airlines to resubmit the passenger data with corrected information.
…requiring airlines to resubmit the passenger data with
correctedinvalid information.FTFY
The cruelty is the whole point
Fuck Trump and fuck anyone who has ever supported him.
As an overseas resident, this is quite frightening. Look at the bigger picture. They’ve recently mentioned invalidating the passports of overseas residents, in regards to Charlie Kirk Facebook posts.
It’s maybe not about trans people; it’s maybe about invalidating passports by forcing a binary choice and then flagging computer errors.
Imagine if they had some other other binary (or narrowly defined range ) choices on there, like political party or race or religion. At some future point they call all members of some subset “terrorists” and prevent them from leaving.
Source on the passport revocations? That’s super scary.
Rubio said it, kind of in passing. Specifically talking about people like me, that he wanted it so that our passports wouldn’t be renewed
I only half believe it but now they’re fucking with passports.
that’s why, despite being non binary, i’m not doing the x marker.
It won’t stop here - I can see the day they take social security from anyone who has ever registered Democrat.
Whaaaaaat??? The fuck?
I don’t agree with the change, and I don’t see why your private parts should determine whether you can travel. However, I’m confused by the headline after reading an article about this
The article says they simply must make a binary choice on documents. But the headline says they are banned from travel.
Can’t they simply choose whatever box will get them their passport? Are they actually banned? Is the headline alarmist? (Even in the best case, I am very sure this will cause a lot of hassle for this poor minority group that gets repeatedly treated like a political football)
It also needs to match your passport, plenty of people still have X on thier passport. So anyone with an X on thier passport can no longer use a plane to leave the country.
Right gotcha, now the headline makes sense
I guess they’ll have to reapply for passports. This is total bullshit, especially when you’re messing with overseas residents
Fascism. Smh
so glad the DNC chose corporate greed and Israel over representing the working class/s
Ah yes. This is all the Democrats’ fault. 🙄
Do me a favor and keep this lemmy.world (trash checks out) account so when this shit is completely smouldering I can laugh at you pieces of blue maga shit.
edit: Blue Maga all over lemmy.world smh - don’t you genocide apologists have r/NPR to go sniff your farts on? The fuck you on decentralized for. I’ll go face off with ICE every single day while you cry about your flavor of fascist on the internet. If and when Trump comes for you I will step aside. Fuck you.
I mean, they could at least let them leave the country, right?
- Cruelty is what the voters want.
- Slaves are what most c-levels want.
- examples are what the politicians want
- experiment subjects is what biotech companies want.
