Transgender people can easily change their sex marker or replace it with an unspecified “X” gender on a growing number of government documents with few questions asked, causing concern from conservatives.
U.S. passports allow a gender change or a non-gender designation of X with no supporting documentation needed, and applicants for a Social Security card can change their gender at will, according to government agencies.
