U.S. District Judge Julia Kobick issued a preliminary injunction against the Trump administration in favor of several people who sued against the policy, which prevents citizens from placing a gender designation other than male or female, even if they don’t identify with either.
Trump issued an executive order titled “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism And Restoring Biological Truth To The Federal Government” in January that instructed officials to change government-issued documents, such as passports, to “accurately reflect the holder’s sex.”
Kobick said the lawsuit will apply to all of those who “currently want, or in the future will want, a U.S. passport issued with an ‘M’ or ‘F’ sex designation that is different from the sex assigned to that individual under the Passport Policy.”
