Sex markers began appearing on passports in the mid-1970s and the federal government started allowing them to be changed with medical documentation in the early 1990s, the plaintiffs said in court documents. A 2021 change under President Joe Biden, a Democrat, removed documentation requirements and allowed nonbinary people to choose an X gender marker after years of litigation.
A judge blocked the Trump administration policy in June after a lawsuit from nonbinary and transgender people, some of whom said they were afraid to submit applications. An appeals court left the judge’s order in place.
Solicitor General D. John Sauer then turned to the Supreme Court, pointing to its recent ruling upholding a ban on transition-related health care for transgender minors. He also argued Congress gave the president control over passports, which overlap with his authority over foreign affairs.
So, what happens if/when/since states allow the usage of X on the certificate? Wouldn’t passports need to reflect that since state burth documents are to be given full faith and credit and gender designations are a power reserved ro the states via the 10th Amendment since they don’t affect interstate commerce?
Why exactly are people getting upset about this?
It’s about sex, not gender.
Define sex.
It says sex, but it’s actually about gender. It makes it difficult or dangerous for nonbinary people to travel internationally.
The Justices should have to wear “gender specific” robes.
No more of this state enforced and protected androgyny.
I mean, you joke, but a majority would be fully on board with this
and require all the women to have Mar a Lago face
The colors should match the colors on the flag. Blue with 50 stars for the boys, horizontal red and white stripes for the girls
What happens if I just update my own passport?
Not sure what you mean. The SCOTUS decision seems to say that you cannot update your passport to not match your birth certificate
And if I do it?
The application to change it gets ignored. Seems the order is to change your birth certificate before your passport
I have the passport in my hand. I have a marker. I don’t need someone else to change it for me. I can change it myself.

Plus, you might subject yourself to a litany of additional potential charges, like:
So, prison. With no maximum sentence, it seems.
Where are those Epstein files?
Also, here’s a really good picture to post for that question:
I use it all the time, and I am happy to share it.
Please don’t. People can’t read images of text.
Love it, too bad it’s AI
While this is a great question, courts have been the barrier stemming the tide of Trump and fascism. So, this ruling is disappointing.
Also, the Epstein files are more a ball within Congress’ court to go after since they are supposed to do oversight of the executive whereas courts need parties to bring forth material harm they suffered to act (think Plaintiff hit by a car or someone loses their house to a highway’s construction).
