US EditionTrump asks Supreme Court to halt order letting transgender people choose passport sex markers
- On Friday, the Trump administration requested that the Supreme Court block a ruling permitting transgender and nonbinary individuals to select their preferred sex designation on passports.
- This request follows President Trump's January executive order requiring passport sex designations to match birth certificate classifications as either male or female.
- A lower court had blocked the policy in June, permitting transgender and nonbinary individuals to select male, female, or an 'X' marker aligning with their gender identity.
- In February, actor Hunter Schafer revealed that her recently obtained passport listed her gender as male, despite previously having female gender markers on her identification, while Solicitor General Sauer described the Trump administration’s policy as fully lawful.
- The administration's appeal could reverse the court order, restricting passport sex markers to biological classification and possibly affecting transgender people's ability to self-identify.
