It will probably come as no surprise to many people that Donald Trump is wasting no time in making changes to America.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump<\/a>\u00a0returned to office for a second time earlier this week, and\u00a0went on to sign over 200 executive orders<\/a>\u00a0within his first 24 hours at the White House.<\/p>\n

Many of these orders have sparked controversy \u2014 one called ‘Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government’ in particular.<\/p>\n

The key takeaway of the order is that Trump wants the country to, from now on, only accept that there are two genders: male and female.<\/p>\n

“It is the policy of the\u00a0United States<\/a>\u00a0to recognize two sexes, male and female,” the order\u00a0states<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.”<\/p>\n

With the change in mind, those applying for a passport will only be able to put their sex as male or female, instead of ‘X’ sex marker that was brought forward by the Biden Administration for non-binary Americans.<\/p>\n

Any\u00a0passport applications that request a X sex marker<\/a>\u00a0have now been suspended, and any future ones will be as well.<\/p>\n

While the future of\u00a0travel<\/a>\u00a0for non-binary and intersex Americans hangs in the balance, for those who already have an ‘X’ passport, it’s believed the documentation will remain valid (for now).<\/p>\n

However, they will likely face issues when it comes to renewing their passport.<\/p>\n

The State Department\u2019s National Passport Information Center has since advised people with questions to sit tight and wait for the new guidance that will become available ‘in the coming days’,\u00a0says<\/a>\u00a0ABC News.<\/p>\n

This is undeniably a huge blow to the\u00a0LGBTQ+<\/a>\u00a0community in the US, but it’s expected that this change will have limited impact on travel in the country in general.<\/p>\n

It’s said that around 16,700 non-binary LGBTQ+ people may request passports with X gender markers per year, Skift\u00a0reported<\/a>, which makes up around 1.4 percent of the US population.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Trump is expected to bring back his infamous ‘travel ban’, which will prohibit people ‘from certain areas of the world’ coming to the US.<\/p>\n

“We will bring back the travel ban \u2013 you remember the famous travel ban,” President Trump said recently.<\/p>\n

“We didn\u2019t take people from certain areas of the world because I didn\u2019t want to have people ripping down and burning our shopping centres and killing people.”<\/p>\n

In 2023, 66.5 million people are thought to have visited America; a number that’s likely to be affected once Trump clamps down on who can enter the country.<\/p>\n
