  • The complaint, filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts, accuses the State Department of rejecting some applications from transgender citizens or issuing documents with their sex assigned at birth. The lawsuit also accused the department of holding some passports and other documents submitted by transgender and nonbinary people.

The article from ABC News discusses a lawsuit filed by transgender and nonbinary individuals against the Trump administration over a policy that requires a person's passport gender marker to reflect their sex assigned at birth, rather than their current gender identity. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, challenges a State Department rule implemented in 2021 which reversed an Obama-era policy allowing transgender individuals to change their gender marker on passports with a doctor's certification. The plaintiffs argue that this policy change not only discriminates against them but also poses safety risks and logistical issues when traveling, as their identification documents do not match their gender identity. The case seeks to restore the previous policy, allowing transgender and nonbinary people to have their passports reflect their true gender identity.
