Supreme Court Backs Trump Move to End Self-ID on Passports
The Supreme Court reversed prior protections for transgender people, ruling that biological sex defines passport gender, aligning with a Trump administration policy.
- Earlier this year the Supreme Court conservative majority sided with the Trump administration in a shadow docket ruling backing transgender passport restrictions, affirming a policy change from President Trump's Inauguration Day order.
- Lower courts blocked the passport policy after finding the executive orders likely discriminatory, following a class-action by a dozen transgender, non-binary and intersex people.
- The passport policy has sown chaos for transgender applicants, freezing some applications for months and forcing the administration attestation process; judges found these harms immediate and severe, leaving many in limbo.
- Applicants for new or corrected passports face immediate risk of receiving passports reflecting their sex assigned at birth, while the Trump administration may revoke prior passports and the plaintiffs' case continues.
- Earlier this year the justices temporarily allowed the Trump administration to ban transgender soldiers from the military, and legal experts warn the ruling could embolden red states and weaponize Real ID systems against transgender people.
