Trans Indian's predicament at the border shows the U.S. lags behind

" The U.S. consulate remains unclear on how to process visas like that of Aruta Alpesh Soni, who identifies among India's legally recognized " Third Genders ". As more and more countries, particularly Asia, legally recognized " Third Genders", the U.S. State Department has not adapted quickly enough to process anything beyond Binary " male " and " female-marked visas."

My old New Zealand passport has a gender undefined tag and I remember someone telling me shortly after it was issued to me that I shouldn't try going to the US with it as I'd strike problems.
