It is not yet clear that one of the first executive commands of US President Donald Trump will affect Canadians carrying their native neutral passports if they travel to the US

Trump ordered the US government on Monday to acknowledge only two sexes: male and female. The command also says that all federal documents – including passports – should refer to “gender” and not “gender”.

Since 2019, Canadians who do not declare themselves as a female or male may list their gender as “X” in their passports.

CBC News asked the US Customs Agency and the protection of the borders what can be expected by Canadians with X on their passports if they try to enter the country after Trump’s Executive Regulation. The CBC News Agency sent a white house to the White House’s press, which has not yet answered the order of the order.

Helen Kennedy, Executive Director of Egale Canada Proponent Organization, said this was “scary” and “insecure” time for Canadians with their native neutral passports – and 2SLGBTQ+ community in general.

“We do not know at the moment what will happen and this is what is very much, it makes it very difficult to assess safety and whether they need to go to the United States at all,” she said.

Fae Johnstone, the Queer Momentum CEO, told Canadian Press that she would avoid traveling to the US for now because of the fear of her passport to be rejected on the border.

“This is nothing more than an existential attack on the existence of trans and the natives of different people in America and around the world,” Johnstone said.

Wearing a gender neutral passport can generally lead to difficulty in the US, Kennedy said.

“Nothing prevents any border immigration clerk from preventing people with X on passports to enter their country,” she said.

“On one level, this has now escalated to a formal policy.”

Canada updated tips for traveling 2023

Global Affair Canada told CBC News in the email that she is aware of Trump’s executive commands and “closely follow this development.” The department said the Canadians should follow his website with travel tips to update the advice.

“Every state decides who enters its borders. The decision to travel is the exclusive responsibility of passengers,” the email reads.

The Government’s site currently has extensive tips for individuals who, on their passports, cite their gender as X. He says they could face the restrictions when traveling and that the Canadian government cannot guarantee entry into other countries.

The government updated their travel tips for individuals traveling to the United States in 2023 after the Law against 2SLGBTQ+ who were passed in numerous US countries.

This advice to passengers tells that the laws that criminalize same -sex activities and relationships are kept or target people on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Kennedy and Johnstone said they want Canada updating their guidelines about traveling to the US and explaining what this means for the transgender and non -sidelines of Canadians crossing the border.

“I am sure people are careful because our community is currently very involved in what is happening in the US. But I think the Canadian government has responsibility to inform people about what’s going on,” Kennedy said.

For now, Kennedy said she would recommend anyone who has a gender neutral passport to avoid traveling to the US unless absolutely necessary.
