  • A federal judge will consider whether to block a Trump administration policy that bans the use of "X" marker used by many nonbinary people on passports as well as the changing of gender markers.

The article from Click2Houston discusses a potential legal challenge by transgender Americans against a policy change proposed by former President Donald Trump regarding passport gender markers. The policy, if implemented, would require transgender individuals to provide proof of medical transition before they can change their gender marker on their passports. This change is seen as a reversal of a more inclusive policy introduced by the Biden administration, which allowed for self-attestation of gender. Advocates argue that Trump's policy would impose unnecessary barriers, potentially endangering transgender individuals by not recognizing their gender identity on official documents. The article highlights concerns over privacy, safety, and the broader implications for transgender rights, with activists and legal experts preparing to contest the policy in court, emphasizing the discriminatory nature of such requirements.
