💨 Abstract

In a significant ruling, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration's policy limiting gender indicators in U.S. passports. Judge Julia Kobick's decision allows transgender and non-binary individuals to select "M," "F," or "X" rather than being restricted to their sex assigned at birth. The Trump administration had narrowly defined gender, but Kobick's court order prevents potential constitutional violations, protecting the rights of these individuals.
