Trump Administration Appeals to Supreme Court Over Passport Gender Policy
The Trump administration has taken significant legal action by petitioning the Supreme Court to allow it to limit sex marker choices on passports for transgender and nonbinary Americans. This request comes after lower court rulings have blocked efforts to roll back policies that permit individuals to select a gender marker that aligns with their gender identity. The administration is seeking to reinstate a requirement that passports reflect only the biological sex of the applicant, highlighting a contentious ongoing debate over transgender rights in the United States. Activists and advocates for trans rights have expressed alarm over this move, arguing it constitutes an attack on the rights of transgender individuals.
