The ACLU has warned that transgender and nonbinary individuals risk losing access to their passports and supporting documents if they apply to update their gender markers. The U.S. State Department has suspended processing these applications due to an executive order by Trump, which requires passports to reflect biological sex rather than gender identity. This has led to confusion, with some individuals, such as Ash Lazarus Orr, having their personal documents withheld. The change reverses previous efforts under the Biden administration to simplify the process for trans people to update their identity documents.
