SCOTUS Allows Trump Administration to Restrict Gender Identity Markers on Passports
The conservative-majority Supreme Court has permitted the Trump administration to temporarily enforce a policy that restricts transgender, nonbinary, and intersex individuals from choosing gender markers on passports that differ from their original birth certificate's sex designation.
This move aims to reverse a Biden-era policy that allowed issuing passports with a gender-neutral marker, "X," and enabled applicants to select a gender marker aligning with their gender identity.
“Forcing transgender people to carry passports that out them against their will increases the risk that they will face harassment and violence and adds to the considerable barriers they already face in securing freedom, safety, and acceptance.” – ACLU
LGBTQ+ advocates have pledged to continue their fight against what they describe as a discriminatory policy.

Summary: The Supreme Court's approval to reinstate restrictions on gender markers in passports has sparked strong opposition from LGBTQ+ groups concerned about safety and civil rights.
