Following President Trump's second inauguration, he enacted an executive order limiting gender recognition to male and female. This shift led the State Department to pause processing 'X' gender passport applications and eliminate references to transgender and queer individuals from its travel website, now only citing 'LGB.' These changes signal a troubling regression for transgender rights, reflecting broader issues in travel safety for the LGBTQ+ community, especially in countries hostile to same-sex relationships.
"I recently had my passport change completed late last year and had my marker updated from male to female. With the removal of trans from the State Department website, it's clear that they are trying all they can to erase the trans community."
"We have become the easy excuse for all of the problems in the nation, and it's sad as some of the hardest working and intelligent people are transgender."
