Back in the United States, a federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction ordering Trump’s State Department to allow six transgender and nonbinary people to obtain U.S. passports with sex designations that match their gender identity. For now, the order only applies to the six plaintiffs, who plan to file a motion that would extend the protections to all impacted trans and nonbinary people. The measure was among a series of anti-trans executive orders issued by President Trump on his first day back in office. The State Department has since suspended the processing of passports for people who indicate their sex as “x” on their applications.
