Aussie passports get 'X' gender choice

Australian passports will now have three gender options — male, female and indeterminate — under new guidelines to prevent discrimination against transgendered people, the government said Sept. 15. Transgendered people and those of ambiguous sex will now be able to list their gender on passports with an "X" if their choice is supported by a doctor's statement. Previously, gender was a choice of only male or female, and people were not allowed to change their gender on their passport without first having a sex-change operation. (AP)
