The Biden administration Thursday announced several measures to make federal forms of identification more inclusive of transgender and nonbinary Americans.

In a release posted to the White House website, the administration said that the Department of State would allow Americans to enter their gender as “X” on US passport applications starting on April 11. The White House also announced changes to body scanners operated by the Transportation Security Administration, moving the scanners away from the current gender-based system which the administration believes will reduce the number of false alarm rates and pat-downs required.

Additionally, the TSA has updated its procedures to no longer consider gender when validating a traveler’s identification at check points. It is in the process of adding the “X” gender marker to its pre-check program, and it is being instructed to work closely with airlines to ensure the acceptance of the “X” gender marker.

Beyond the Department of State, the Biden administration announced several programs to provide resources to transgender kids and their families. It also announced programs to improve access for transgender Americans to federal services and benefits like retirement savings, employment discrimination complaint, and student aid.

The announcement was part of the White House’s participation in Transgender Day of Visibility, held annually on March 31. It was made at a time when several states are advancing legislation targeting the transgender community.

The Justice Department issued a letter Thursday to all state attorneys general reminding them of federal constitutional and statutory provisions that protect transgender youth against discrimination. The Biden administration mentioned several efforts taken by the president to fight these efforts and once again called upon the Senate to pass the Equality Act, which would provide federal civil rights protections to transgender and LGBTQI+ Americans and their families.
