The Trump administration has implemented a new policy regarding passport applications for transgender individuals, requiring them to identify with the sex assigned at birth rather than their chosen gender identity. This policy change follows President Trump's executive order declaring that there are only two sexes, male and female, and rejecting the concept of gender transition.
Transgender individuals have reported being denied requests to change the gender marker on their passports and being asked to affirm the sex assigned at birth instead of their lived gender. Several transgender individuals are currently challenging the executive order in court.
