Trump asks Supreme Court to allow a two-gender passport policy
Los Angeles Times
|September 20, 2025
President Trump’s administration asked the Supreme Court on Friday to let it enforce a passport policy for transgender and nonbinary people that requires male or female sex designations based on birth certificates.
The Justice Department appealed a lower-court order allowing people use the gender or “X” identification marker that lines up with their gender identity.
It’s the latest in a series of emergency appeals from the Trump administration, many of which have resulted in victories amid litigation, including on banning transgender people from the military.
The government argues it can’t be required to use sex designations it considers inaccurate on official documents.
The plaintiffs, meanwhile, say the policy violates the rights of transgender and nonbinary Americans.
