- The U.S. government aims to overturn a judicial order blocking enforcement of binary sex designations on passports.
- The Department of Justice claims that gender markers on passports fall under presidential constitutional authority.
- Civil rights groups label the policy as discriminatory and violating transgender, non-binary, and intersex individuals’ rights.
- The conflict stems from Trump’s executive order defining sex strictly as biological male or female, banning neutral gender options.
This administration has taken escalating steps to limit transgender people’s health care, speech, and other rights under the Constitution, and we are committed to defending those rights including the freedom to travel safely and the freedom of everyone to be themselves.— Jon Davidson, senior counsel for civil liberties group ACLU which is representing the plaintiffs, commented on the Trump administration's actions.
