On Thursday, November 6, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court authorized the Trump administration to enforce a passport rule that prevents transgender individuals from changing their gender designation on their passports. This decision allows the administration to maintain the current policy regarding gender markers on U.S. passports.

The ruling has significant implications for transgender individuals seeking to align their official documents with their gender identity. The policy has faced criticism from various civil rights advocates who argue that it undermines the rights of transgender people.

This development comes amid ongoing discussions about civil rights and the treatment of transgender individuals in the United States. For more on related coverage, see recent developments in politics.
