Transgender Americans aim to block Trump's passport policy change

Ash Lazarus Orr is facing delays in renewing his passport due to a name change, impacting his ability to travel for gender-affirming care in Ireland this month.
Orr attributes the delays to an executive order by President Donald Trump that bans the use of the 'X' gender marker and restricts gender marker changes.
The Trump administration argues that the passport policy change does not violate the Constitution's equal protection guarantees, according to court filings.
ACLU lawyers have criticized the policy for inviting harassment and discrimination against transgender Americans, linking it to broader actions that threaten transgender rights.
