President Trump’s recent executive order removes the option for non-binary individuals to select an “X” gender marker on U.S. passports, reversing progress made during the Biden administration. This policy reaffirms a binary understanding of gender, recognizing only “male” and “female.” Critics, including LGBTQ+ advocates, argue that it discriminates against non-binary individuals and undermines inclusivity, raising concerns about further erosion of LGBTQ+ rights. Legal experts predict the policy will face court challenges, while international backlash grows as other nations recognize diverse gender identities. The decision marks a significant step back in the fight for LGBTQ+ equality and legal recognition.
