There is a petition on the UK Parliament website to legally recognise nonbinary as a gender – which would include an X marker on UK passports for nonbinary people.

@syhr I'm not terribly hopeful that a petition would do much on this topic, considering the failure of the courts to do anything so far https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/08/05/non-binary-uk-lawsuit-echr/
@wolfie Hope is always worth having.

I used to select Germany and put my German postcode in the box. It was quite happy about it.
These days the postcode box disappears if you select a country other than UK.

@syhr This may not be such a great idea. One database query and the government has a list for nefarious purposes.

@sunflowerinrain Completely agree. My preferred option would be to scrap gender markers on passports. But the legal protections are still important.
So, unfortunately, there's a treaty for passport standardisation which requires gender information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-readable_passport
Getting an X in the UK is easier than changing the treaty is easier than getting rid of borders.

@mynameistillian @radioclash As we all should be
@syhr @mynameistillian @radioclash
Updating one's documentation is always a tradeoff. For many trans people, trying to travel on an unupdated passport means enduring a _lot_ of harassment and potentially being denied entry or exit (and thus getting stranded overseas).
The X option will make travel easier for some people and may also be a way that some cis people might express solidarity.

@syhr @sunflowerinrain gender on ID saves lives. medical treatment is very different between male and female, and in an emergency having that information could easily be the difference between life and death. they probably should list your blood-type too.
