> It’s a biological reality.

The biological reality being that at birth babies are clearly reproductively male or reproductively female in roughly 98% of cases.

It's less clear for roughly 2% and indeterminate by any single means (chromosones, gametes, external organs) in small percentage ( 0.02% ) of cases.

Because of that biological reality various countries allow for people that were born neither [F] nor [M] to have a third option to avoid them having to lie on their passport.

The Australian passport requires factually accurate information and therefore allows [M], [F], and [X].

How do US border accept this under the current administration in light of the recent note by the current POTUS?
