Pakistan Issues First Third-Gender Passport with 'X' Category to Activist Farzana Riaz - Greenline News

Islamabad: In a landmark step toward civil recognition for transgender citizens, Pakistan has issued its first official passport featuring a third-gender 'X' marker. The travel document was conferred upon 30-year-old transgender rights pioneer Farzana Riaz in Peshawar.
