Trump’s anti-trans executive orders to remove X gender markers on passports in the US
President Donald Trump has delivered a series of executive orders after being sworn into office, one of which declared that the US government will recognise “only two genders, male and female”. The White House has now suggested that the executive order will remove the “X” gender marker on passports and other government-issued IDs for trans and non-binary people in the US.
After Trump signed the legislation, it required that IDs, including passports and visas, must show a person’s biological sex as “either male or female”. Reports previously suggested that this would “up-end” the “pioneering passport change” during former president Joe Biden’s administration which allowed those who do not identify as male or female to select the gender marker “X” instead.
