LGBTQ Advocates Challenge Supreme Court’s Anti-Trans Passport Ruling

Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-de... In an unsigned order on Thursday, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to require U.S. passports to list travelers’ sex assigned at birth, another blow to the rights of transgender, nonbinary and intersex people, who had been able to select sex markers aligning with their gender identity or to use a gender-neutral X. Thursday’s order is an interim ruling while the passport case makes its way through lower courts. “The harm and the targeting of this policy towards intersex, nonbinary and trans people is terrifying. It makes it very scary to travel, to trust that you’ll be able to get through security, that you’ll be able to get on your flight,” says Arli Christian, senior policy counsel with the American Civil Liberties Union. We also get reaction to the order from actress and activist Laverne Cox, who says trans people will persevere despite the discriminatory policy. “No matter what they say about our ID documents, we are still who we are, and we will find a way to be ourselves no matter what,” she says.
