WaPo Columnist Suggests Passports Shouldn’t List 'Male' or 'Female'
TownhallMAY 2022
Mexico made history as it celebrated issuing the country’s first non-binary passport. Foreign Minister Ebrard is correct when he calls the event “a great leap” for freedom and dignity. Hopefully, this move will allow people of different gender and sexual identities to feel more included in Mexico, and it will also serve as a reminder that the country stands with its LGBTQ+ community and against hate.
In an effort to be politically correct, governments around the world are abandoning all sense of reality and jumping on board with an illusion. Everyone should be respected and protected from discrimination, but official state documents must demand clarity and truth. Though leftists are self-proclaimed advocates of science, they're quick to throw it out the window when convenient.
While Mexico’s new passport may be viewed as a step in the right direction for non-binary and LGBTQ+ rights, it made a fundamental error in how it portrays gender and sexual identity. There is a pervasive stigma against the LGBTQ+ community and the concept of gender identity and sex. This passport policy fails to recognize key distinctions and adds fuel to the belief that gender and sex are one and the same.
