"President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court to intervene in a ruling that lets transgender and nonbinary citizens select their gender identity on passports. In a filing late Friday, government lawyers urged the justices to halt a lower court order that permits applicants to choose male, female, or X on their passports, rather than being bound by the sex recorded on their birth certificate."

President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court to intervene to block a lower court ruling that allows passport applicants to self-identify their gender. Government lawyers filed late Friday seeking a stay of the order that permits transgender and nonbinary citizens to choose male, female, or X on passports. The filing asks the justices to halt implementation so passports would not reflect a chosen gender when it differs from the sex recorded on a birth certificate. The legal request aims to reverse or pause the lower court’s decision while the litigation continues. Further developments are expected.
