The U.S. Supreme Court has cleared the way for the Trump administration to enforce a controversial policy regarding passport sex markers, which restricts options for transgender and nonbinary individuals. This decision allows the administration to require that passports reflect the sex designation listed on the birth certificate, effectively rescinding the previous policy that permitted gender self-identification. Supporters of the ruling assert it maintains consistency in government documents, while critics argue it inflicts harm on transgender Americans by limiting their gender expression. The ruling underscores a significant shift in policy and reflects ongoing debates about rights for transgender individuals in the U.S.
