Trump administration asks Supreme Court to allow it to limit sex designations on passports
The Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court to reinstate a policy restricting passport sex designations to 'male' or 'female' based on assigned sex at birth. This challenges a 2021 Biden administration policy allowing self-identification or an 'X' option. A lower court issued an injunction upholding the Biden policy. The Trump administration argues the policy is lawful and the injunction is baseless, claiming defining sex by biological classification isn't discriminatory. The ACLU, representing plaintiffs, contends the policy is discriminatory and infringes on the rights of transgender, nonbinary, and intersex individuals. The Supreme Court is now considering the administration's request to overturn the lower court's ruling.
