WASHINGTON – The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced today (July 14) the implementation of a new gender option for the TSA PreCheck® application process.
The TSA PreCheck program application has been updated to include an additional gender marker option to better serve non-binary and gender non-conforming Americans. This action will ensure the TSA PreCheck system accurately reflects traveller gender. As of April 2022, TSA has allowed TSA PreCheck applicants to select their gender based on self-attestation, regardless of the sex assigned at birth.
“TSA remains committed to ensuring all travellers are treated with respect and dignity,” said TSA Administrator David Pekoske. “This new TSA PreCheck enrollment feature reaffirms our commitment to equality and inclusion for all people, including the LGBTQI+ community.”
This new gender marker option will not impact the security screening process. Security screening is conducted without discrimination against travellers based on their race, colour, sex, gender, gender identity, national origin, religion or disability.
