CBP Enforces Binary Sex Codes and Enhanced US Passport Validation in APIS


Sex Field Requirements: Effective Oct. 14, 2025, CBP systems will only accept “M” (Male) or “F” (Female) in the sex field of APIS transmissions. Any other characters will result in an “X Response-Insufficient Information” error, requiring airlines to resubmit the passenger data with corrected information.

        Oh, they give lots of fucks about a lot of people. Enough so that they want them all dead.

        This shit is just the tip of the iceberg. If you’re in the US and you’re not CIS and straight, you better start figuring out how to look like you are while you figure out how to escape.

          Personally I would love to move to many other countries, and I’m in healthcare so I could do it. However my entire family close and extended, along with my wife’s family live here. So it’s pretty much going to take the gulags to get them out of the country. Of course by then it’s too late. Same thing with climate change something about human nature makes it so we can’t react to a society wide problem until it’s a pressing issue, and beyond repair
