A federal judge questioned the Trump administration about why the U.S. Department of State is only issuing passports with male and female gender markers. The post Judge Wants Trump Administration to Explain Why Passports Do Not Recognize Transgender Identity appeared first on Breitbart.
A federal judge questioned the Trump administration's policy of issuing passports with only male and female sex markers, following a lawsuit from transgender Americans claiming the policy forces them to "out" themselves and exposes them to potential violence. The judge requested justification for the policy, which aligns with an executive order recognizing only two sexes. The lawsuit seeks a preliminary injunction to require the State Department to continue allowing an "X" designation on passports during the legal proceedings.
