The Supreme Court cleared the way Thursday for President Donald Trump to restrict U.S. passports based on gender identity.
Nov. 6 The Supreme Court Thursday cleared the way for President Donald Trump to restrict U.S. passports based on gender identity, a setback for non-binary and transgender people seeking the document.
The court order requires the gender designation on the passport to reflect the biological sex of the person applying for it. Transgender and non-binary Americans have called the effort unconstitutional.
„Displaying passport holders‘ sex at birth no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth — in both cases, the government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment, “ the unsigned court order said.
