LGBTQ+ advocates have vowed to continue fighting after the conservative-majority Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to temporarily enforce a discriminatory passport policy against transgender, nonbinary and intersex people. The policy requires U.S. passports to match a person’s sex designation found on their original birth certificate. The measure seeks to end a Biden-era practice of issuing passports with a gender-neutral marker — an X — and for applicants to select a marker that matches their gender identity. In response, the ACLU said, “Forcing transgender people to carry passports that out them against their will increases the risk that they will face harassment and violence and adds to the considerable barriers they already face in securing freedom, safety, and acceptance.” We’ll have more on this story after headlines.
