Gender 'X' option no longer available to Canadian Nexus card holders
Following an executive order from President Trump earlier this year, Canadians renewing or applying for the expedited border crossing program will be forced to select male or female for new Nexus memberships.

The gender “X” option will no longer be available to Canadians renewing or applying for Nexus travel cards to cross into the United States, following President Donald Trump's executive order instructing the American government to only recognize male and female sexes.
Those seeking renewals or applying for the program will still have the “X” marker on their Canadian passport but will be required to select “male” or “female” on their Nexus membership, a spokesman for the Canada Border Services Agency said, as reported by The Canadian Press.
Existing Nexus cards displaying the “X” option will remain valid, the spokesperson said, though the expedited border crossing program requires identification renewals every five years.
Nexus is designed to speed up crossings between the two countries for low-risk, pre-approved travellers.
While the program is jointly run between Canada and the U.S., its application process is run through a U.S. system operated by its Customs and Border Protection agency.
Trump first signed the executive order in January 2025, with the policy coming into effect in February 2025.

Vara La Fey commented 2025-08-07 12:56:53 -0400Whichever checkmark someone else selects on their own paperwork HAS NO RELEVANCE TO YOU. The fact that your little feelings tell you otherwise proves yet again that MAGA and its submissives throughout the remains of the Western World are the biggest fraud committed against humanity since marxism.
You are not independent when you depend on other people to fill out their private paperwork in ways YOU can handle. You are not strong when YOU are affected by someone else having a third option. You are not individualist when you demand binary conformity from others. You are not anti-entitlement while feeling ENTITLED to your socially conservative national comfort zone. You are not seeking smaller government when YOU cheer the interventionist theft of tariffs, as well as growing government restrictions on transitioning, abortion, imports, private company bathroom policy, and so on. You do NOT want stronger economies when you tolerate the inevitable and easily predictable inflation brought by said tariffs. You are NOT against tyranny when you, like all Soviets and Maoists before you, say that we have to sacrifice ‘temporarily’ to give our leader’s vision time to bear fruit. You are NOT motivated by the US Constitution when you tolerate your ‘leaders’ constantly trying to find ways around the restrictions in it. You are NOT motivated by freedom when you’ve done almost nothing to fight for it and haven’t demanded any such fight from your ‘leaders’. Seriously, all that blindly defunding statist agencies does is create chaos, create opportunities for the forthcoming “blue wave” to “restore sanity”, and make tRump look like a pro-freedom tough guy IF your IQ and honesty are deficient enough.
So where are the anti-regulation warriors and the tax rebels?
Behind your keyboards whining about transpeople and cheering every pathetic attempt by your ‘leaders’ to make us go away. That’s all you are: weaklings sucking the teats of rage porn, crying for the nanny state to intervene on your behalf. You’re not a resistance and you never were, you’re just a rival gang fighting a turf war against your leftist big-government soulmates. Like I said, MAGA and its submissives around the world are the biggest fraud since marxism.

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-08-06 19:36:56 -0400I’m glad. X is neither male or female. Biology tells that there are only two kinds of chromosomes, XX and XY. So those who can think straight understand this and applaud Trump’s decision.
