On Thursday, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to halt issuing passports that reflect the gender identity of transgender, nonbinary, and intersex Americans, temporarily permitting a policy requiring passports to list sex assigned at birth while lower courts weigh its legality. Existing passports that reflect gender identity, including those with the gender neutral X marker, remain valid until they expire, the ACLU said. The rule applies to first time applications and renewals, ends a Biden era option, and will require renewing holders to use the sex they were assigned at birth.
