The U.S. stopped allowing passport gender marker changes. Here are some of the people affected

The day after President Donald Trump’s return to his post, Lisa Soohai took her 21 -year -old daughter, Millen, to a passport office in Norfolk, Virginia, where they live.

Getting a passport for Mellow, which is transgender, was urgent.

In an executive order, Trump signed the day before, the president used a narrow definition of sex rather than a wider perception of sex. It says that a person is male or female and rejects the idea that someone can move from the sex at birth to another sex. The framework is in line with the views of many conservatives, but at the end of the major medical groups and policies during the era of former President Joe Biden.

Her family wants to be able to leave the country if things become unlikely for people transformed in the United States, as the federal government is increasingly moving to not recognize it.

She said: “If the worst is to reach the worst, and things threaten my life, I will get a way out.”

Trump is commanded on January 20, which is wondering about the presence of transgender and non -prominent, creating confusion and pain for Mellow and others looking for new, renewable or updated passports. A group of people affected by politics were stabbed through a lawsuit on Friday at the Federal Court in Boston.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs signed in line with Trump’s order

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has quickly stopped issuing travel documents with the “X” sex brand preferred by many non -prominent people, who do not specify their mention as male or female. The administration also stopped allowing people to change the sex included in their passport or obtain a new prize that reflects their gender instead of their gender appointed at birth.

Applications that were already submitted for sex mark changes have been suspended. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also replaced its web page with information about the “LGBTQI+” travelers to “LGB” only, removing any signal to transgender people or people between the sexes.

When he got to know the policy change, Mellow examined the box for “male”, although this contradicts its life and the leadership of the state issued by the state.

“We had to swore the section on the fact that the information we provided was correct, even if we had to do it not honest to ourselves,” said Melin. “He was emotional because he was somehow lying to yourself.”

Her mother is concerned that Mellow may not be granted a passport – or that it may create legal problems if her documents do not match or because she swore an incorrect thing.

Trump targeted the transgender people on several fronts

A passport policy is among the many measures that Trump has taken since its return to his position, which can suffocate rights and legal recognition of transgender people, transgender people and others.

The same arrangement that seeks to determine the sexes to exclude them will also require sexual housing women in prison in men’s facilities. Additional requests can open the door to kicking the sexual service members of the army, with the exception of the use of federal taxpayer funds to provide confirmed gender care for sexually transformed people under the age of nineteen and to preserve girls and women transgendering from sports competitions for girls and women.

The lawsuit filed by ACLU lawyers on Friday, which challenges the passport, claims that the matter is distinguished against people based on their gender or their transgender status, and they are deprived of their rights to protection, privacy and speech. It also claims that the sudden change of policy violates the condition of notification and comment for 60 days.

The Trump administration said that policy will not affect the inappropriate passports.

Garden State Equality groups, which are based in New Jersey, have warned their headquarters and uninterrupted members that they may be in danger when returning to the United States after traveling abroad, especially if their passport has a “X” sexual sign.

The family is to forget about the application of one son

Elise Flater, a four -year -old mother in the Oils suburb, as a seed, is still waiting to hear whether a passport has been approved for her 12 -year -old transgender son.

The family filled the request in December at the same time, they requested passports for two of their other children. Others have arrived, but he did not. Flatland said it is necessary to have a travel document so that the family can go to another country to obtain confirmed gender care if it is not available in the United States

It will also help her son in other ways. The Kansas 2023 law left them unable to change his birth certificate, so he has no document issued by the government that reflects his gender. One can help answer his sixth -grade colleagues who skeptical about his identity, and more since Trump’s election in November.

“There is definitely a feeling that everyone is gathering in their anti -combating and gay stances, and they do not need to act politely in public places.”

Searching for a passport change means delivery of documents

Expecting a passport, Ash Lazaros Or, a lawyer in West Virginia, sent a quick request to change the mark of the sexes on his passport from “F” to “M” days before Trump took office.

But it was not treated until after the opening, and ORR does not expect to make a change.

One of the complications for ORR is that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has its current passport, which does not expire for several years, and his birth certificate and marriage license. This has put some of the upcoming international travel plans.

He said he hoped that his unusual passport will be returned, so that he can travel. Ur said: “The scenario of the worst cases, I could see this lost through the entire administration as I do not have a passport.”

The Foreign Ministry said it was “correcting” a passport request

Zia Perisian, a 22 -year -old content, tried to live in Los Angeles, to change the mark of the sexes on her passport as soon as she heard about Trump’s passport policy.

I bought a plane ticket to Canada to be the basis for an urgent service request. After an appointment in a passport office, it expressed his hope that the switch will be approved.

A few days later, her new passport reached the mail along with a message explaining that the request was “corrected” for males.

She said that the case is greater than the travel document.

She said in an interview: “They do not want anyone to feel the verification,” she said in an interview. “They want to return to how it was, as such creatures were looking at us, and that we were like the nights.”

Both ORR and Peresian are among the prosecutors in the lawsuit seeking to stop politics.
