The U.S. issued its first passport with an "X" gender designation on Wednesday—but it's far from the first country to recognize citizens who don't identify as either male or female.
At least 15 countries have already allowed people to amend their gender to a legalized non-binary or third gender identifier on their passport, including Argentina, Austria, Australia, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Malta, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, India and Nepal.

However in some countries in the Middle East, Africa and Far East, this may cause some problems, and I wouldn't recommend travelling to the likes of Russia, China, Iran or North Korea, with an X instead of male of female.
As for the decision by the UK Supreme Court it was unanimous and had taken in to account the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
Gender-neutral passports are already issued by Argentina, Australia, the US, Canada, Denmark, India, Malta, Nepal, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Pakistan, while Germany has introduced an intersex category.
Good for the UK. The gender nonsense is even more extreme there, and has been so for longer. So naturally, the pushback is also starting there earlier.
