Supreme Court allows block on transgender passport gender marker changes
The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration's policy requiring passports to reflect biological sex at birth to take effect while legal challenges continue. The policy, based on an executive order recognizing only two sexes, restricts transgender and nonbinary people from changing their passport gender markers. A lower court had blocked the policy, but the Supreme Court's majority paused that ruling, citing the government's interest in attesting to historical facts. Dissenting justices argued the policy causes harm to transgender individuals.
