Supreme Court Allows Trump's Transgender Passport Policy

The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to enforce a policy blocking transgender and nonbinary individuals from choosing passport sex markers that align with their gender identity. This decision comes as a lawsuit challenging the policy is ongoing. The policy change stems from an executive order issued by then-President Trump, which recognizes only two sexes, male and female, based on birth certificates and biological classification. This policy has significant implications for transgender and nonbinary individuals, as it can lead to harassment or violence when traveling. The policy was initially blocked by a judge in June following a lawsuit, but was later allowed by the Supreme Court. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city.
