"The Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration on Thursday, allowing it to block transgender and nonbinary people from choosing the passport marker that best aligns with their gender identity while a legal challenge is brought against it. It's the latest decision from the court affecting transgender and nonbinary people. It's also the latest win for Donald Trump on the court's emergency docket."
"Thursday's decision stops a lower court's order that forced the federal government to continue allowing people to choose between male, female, or X on their passports. Earlier this year, the Trump State Department changed its passport policy after Trump's executive order recognizing only "two sexes, male and female." This story is developing. Check back for updates."
The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to block transgender and nonbinary people from choosing passport markers that align with their gender identity while a legal challenge proceeds. The decision pauses a lower court order that had required the federal government to continue offering male, female, or X options on passports. Earlier this year, the State Department changed its passport policy after an executive order recognizing only two sexes, male and female. The ruling affects transgender and nonbinary people and represents a win for the Trump administration on the court's emergency docket. Litigation remains pending.
