    Once codified into law, would the recent executive order not invalidate the legal identification of everyone who doesn’t have their sex assigned at birth listed?

    A [State] department webpage that described how people could change their gender marker was taken offline, and Chase Strangio, an ACLU lawyer, said it’s unlikely that any new application to change the gender marker on a passport will be approved.

      I appreciate the question, but this is actually quite different from what is claimed in the screenshot.

      The state department will stop changing the gender registration on new passports to “X”, at least for now. This doesn’t cause anyone to lose their documents. It also doesn’t affect anyone changing their registration with the state or local government, which is much more important.
