    Dana Zzyym is an intersex activist and former sailor. In the lawsuit Zzyym v. Pompeo, they were the first military veteran in the United States to seek a nonbinary gender marker on their U.S. passport.[2]

    Zzyym had their application for a passport denied due to refusing to select a binary gender option on the application form. With help from Lambda Legal, an LGBTQ+ legal assistance organization, a court ruled that denying Zzyym a passport was not within the U.S. State Department's authority.[3]
