Joe Biden made it easier for trans people to have passports that reflect who they are. Donald Trump eliminated that policy.

It is one of the first directives to be implemented after Trump signed a sweeping anti-trans executive order declaring only two sexes, male and female as assigned at birth.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ordered the state department to stop passport applications with “X” markers, which are used by many trans and non-binary citizens. Rubio, who previously said voting on a bill to protect same-sex marriage was a “stupid waste of time”,

Trans, intersex, and nonbinary people applying for passports will no longer be able to select an “X” marker for gender.
