   FIRST ON FOX: A group of House Republicans is pressing Secretary of   
   State Antony Blinken on the State Department's decision to allow   
   Americans to apply for passports that list the holder's gender as "X,"   
   saying the decision "makes a mockery of science."    
      
   Rep. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., led a letter to Blinken with 12 of her GOP   
   colleagues in response to his March announcement that the State   
   Department "would begin to allow U.S. citizens to select ‘X’ as their   
   gender marker" when applying for passports.   
      
   "This is a deeply troubling decision for a variety of reasons," they   
   wrote in the letter Thursday. "First, for an administration that claims   
   to follow the science, it is interesting to see which aspects of   
   science you choose to ignore. Men are men and women are women."   
      
   The Republicans wrote that the "second troubling aspect" of Blinken’s   
   announcement is that it changes the passport wording from "sex" — which   
   the lawmakers said "is indisputable" — to "gender," which "only   
   undermines the science further."

   I can see where a so called transgender person could have a lot of   
   problems entering another country.
