Is this right? That *tomorrow* they're going to start denying, in some way or another, X gender markers at US borders / on US passports? https://www.gtlaw-insidebusinessimmigration.com/u-s-customs-and-border-protection-cbp/cbp-enforces-binary-sex-codes-and-enhanced-us-passport-validation-in-apis/
It's not quite clear what they're going to end up doing. Will they "infer" a binary gender, or will they deny the validity of the passport?

@cwebber Seems pretty clear they will block people with X markers from entering or leaving the United States. The booking details *must* match the passport, but the booking details can only have an M or F. So if your passport has an X: new passport or no transit

@considermycat what about people coming back from travel, inside or outside the US?

@cwebber My understanding is that this is not what has been generally claimed: they aren't rejecting the passports, they are requiring the _airlines_ to select "M" or "F" in their records that they report to CBP.
This will create confusion and delays and increased scrutiny, but the passport remains valid for transit through the checkpoint itself.
Of course how this will manifest in practice remains to be seen.

@hrefna Ok, I hope that's what it is.

@cwebber Yes, sadly. From tomorrow, US CBP is rejecting any passport containing [^MF] in the gender identifier field as incomplete. The airline will have to resubmit with an inferred value before the passenger can board.
The Canadian travel advisory for the USA says: "… You might face entry restrictions in countries that do not recognize the “X” gender identifier." — https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/united-states
