"The policy reversed a standard established under President in which trans residents were able to update their passports to reflect their gender identity, and where the letter 'X' could be used as the gender marker for applicants."
"Lawyers for the plaintiffs confirmed that they would like clarification that the Supreme Court's order does not end their lawsuit over whether the policy discriminates against trans residents."
"The attorneys have argued that Trump's passport policy enforces stereotypes around sex and gender."
A circuit court judge is seeking clarification on how a recent emergency order affects transgender residents suing the State Department over passport gender markers. The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to halt passport issuance to transgender individuals not aligned with their assigned sex at birth. This policy reversed a previous standard allowing updates to reflect gender identity. Lawyers for the plaintiffs confirmed they seek clarification that the Supreme Court's order does not terminate their discrimination lawsuit against the policy.
