What Trump's executive order on gender means for passports

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Passport applications have been suspended for people who are seeking a gender change or do not wish to mark their sex as male or female, according to an email Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent to staff Thursday. Rubio’s mandate follows through on President Donald Trump’s executive order declaring that the United States recognizes only two sexes.

The move came as a blow to travelers who celebrated when the Biden administration began allowing them to reflect their gender identity on their passports under a new policy. Those changes, announced in 2021 after years of advocacy and legal fights, allowed nonbinary, intersex or gender-nonconforming people to use an X designation rather than male or female and made it possible for transgender people to select their gender without needing to provide medical documents.

What is changing under Trump’s executive order?

Trump’s executive order says that agencies must require people to select “sex” rather than “gender” on documents and that government-issued identification documents, including passports, will need to reflect people’s sex as defined in the order.
