For [[nonbinary]] and [[intersex]] people, travel can be extremely difficult. In most [[Gender recognition|countries]], passports usually allow F and M options or their equivalents, which, when abbreviated in this way, are always read as female and male, which might make it difficult for people with identities such as [[maverique]], though an "X" marker will probably be used before fill-in fields are ever allowed. Guides for safe travel (or recommendations against it) in different countries are displayed below. | For [[nonbinary]] and [[intersex]] people, travel can be extremely difficult.

The Transport Security Administration and the Department of State ban nonbinary and intersex people from travelling inside or out of the country, effectively imprisoning them.
