Not an April Fools Joke’: Biden Admin Unveils ‘X’ as Third Gender Identity for Immigrants

An agency under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of the Biden administration announced on Monday a third gender option, “X,” defined as “Another Gender Identity” for immigrants seeking U.S. citizenship.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said in a post on its website that the option will appear on the revised N-400 application for naturalization.

The agency also noted that it is updating its policy manual “accordingly to account for this form revision and other forthcoming revisions that will add a third gender option.”

Applicants who have a pending form were advised they may request to update their gender.

“For all other forms, individuals must wait until USCIS revises those forms to include the X gender option,” the post added.

The US agency tasked with handling asylum claims, visas, and citizenship announces it will now offer “X” as a third gender identity.
