Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser has thrown his legal weight behind an intersex Fort Collins resident as debate over a gender-neutral passport reaches the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Dana Zzyym, who identifies as non-binary rather than male or female, requested in 2014 that an X be used in place of male or female on their passport, but the State Department denied the request. Zzyym filed a lawsuit and in September a federal judge in Colorado sided with Zzyym.
