Supreme Court Lets Trump Admin Stop Issuing Passports Based On ‘Gender Identity’

The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration on Thursday to only issue passports indicating biological sex, not “gender identity.”

“Displaying passport holders’ sex at birth no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth—in both cases, the Government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment,” the court wrote.

Judge Julia E. Kobick, a Biden appointee, issued an order in June instructing the government to allow transgender-identifying citizens to choose their own sex designation.

The lower court’s “grant of class-wide relief enjoins enforcement of an Executive Branch policy with foreign affairs implications concerning a Government document,” the court wrote.
