5.0Marco Rubio Orders Suspension of Passport Applications From Anyone Seeking to Change Gender Marker
Bloomberg/Getty Images
Sign up for The Agenda — Them’s news and politics newsletter, delivered to your inbox every Thursday.
Newly minted Secretary of State Marco Rubio has reportedly directed his agency to freeze passport applications that contain a request for an X gender marker or a change of gender.
According to an internal State Department document obtained on Thursday by The Guardian, Rubio told staff that “sex, and not gender, shall be used” on documents like passports and overseas birth certificates. The document instructs workers to “suspend any application requesting an X sex marker,” as well as “any application where the applicant is seeking to change their sex marker,” citing President Trump’s anti-trans executive order this week: “The policy of the United States is that an individual’s sex is not changeable.”
Rubio’s memo reportedly did not provide additional details about the suspension policy, including how long any such suspension periods may last. In response to an emailed request for comment from Them, a State Department spokesperson said only that the agency “does not comment on leaked internal documents.”
Earlier this week, following Trump’s executive order, White House officials said that the policy changes would not affect existing valid passports until they are renewed. At that point, trans, nonbinary, and intersex people “have to use their God-given sex, which was decided at birth,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told NOTUS.
“This is an area where there is broad presidential authority to make changes,” said ACLU attorney Chase Strangio in an Instagram video Friday morning. “This has always been the area where they could act the fastest [in the sex discrimination executive order].” Strangio emphasized that “it would be a significant escalation outside their legal authority” to attempt to revoke currently valid passports, and that the policy change does not affect state ID cards or similar state-level identification. Speaking to Them via email, Strangio further stressed that “just because we are seeing immediate action on this part of the [executive order] does not mean that the rest of the EO is going to be immediately implemented across the government.”
Trump’s Anti-Trans Executive Order Includes “Conception” Language That Signals Trouble for Reproductive Rights
“This is just the first of many alarm bells that should be sounding about this administration,” an ACLU spokesperson told Them.
“We are monitoring every agency action that is attempting to implement Trump’s executive order,” Strangio added in the video. “I’m here, and I’m sorry, and we’re going to keep fighting.”
LGBTQ+ legal advocacy group Lambda Legal also vowed to litigate against Trump’s orders this week, noting in a statement that the State Department was forced to adopt “X” passport markers as a result of a lawsuit from intersex activist Dana Zzyym. A district court ruled in 2018 that the department’s previous binary sex policy violated the Administrative Procedure Act.
“Lambda Legal secured the first U.S. passport with an ‘X’ gender marker for our brave client, Dana Zzyym,” wrote Lambda Legal CEO Kevin Jennings, “and we’ll continue to stand with Dana and all intersex, nonbinary, and transgender people to defend their right to identity documents that accurately identify who they are, and their equal protection rights against targeting and exclusion by their own government.”

Originally Appeared on them.
In a controversial move, Senator Marco Rubio has ordered the suspension of passport applications from anyone seeking to change their gender marker. This decision has sparked outrage and criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates and allies.Rubio’s decision to suspend these applications is seen as a direct attack on the transgender community and a violation of their rights. Many argue that individuals should have the right to change their gender marker on official documents in order to accurately reflect their gender identity.
Critics of Rubio’s order have pointed out that this move is discriminatory and goes against the progress that has been made in recognizing and respecting transgender individuals. They are calling for the immediate reversal of this decision and for the protection of transgender rights.
This latest move by Rubio has reignited the debate over transgender rights and has once again brought the issue to the forefront of political discourse. It remains to be seen how this decision will be challenged and what impact it will have on the transgender community.

State Department halts ‘X’ passport gender marker applications
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has directed the State Department to freeze applications in the passport pipeline with “X” selected as the gender identifier, according to internal communication reviewed by ABC News.
The move follows President Donald Trump’s executive order declaring that the U.S. government would only recognize a person’s sex assigned at birth, limit the definition of a “male” or “female” to their reproductive cells and potentially withhold federal funding from programs that acknowledge transgender people or “gender ideology.”
The Biden administration introduced an option to select “X” instead of male or female on passport applications in 2022. The rule announced by then-Secretary of State Antony Blinken marked the Transgender Day of Visibility and was designed to accommodate intersex, nonbinary and gender-nonconforming individuals.

Intersex people are those with variations in their sex traits such as genitals, chromosomes, hormones or reproductive organs, and differ from expectations of male and female anatomy.
Passports already issued with “X” gender identifiers will still be considered valid, according to the new policy.
As of Thursday, the online application tool still allows applicants to select “X” for their gender or say they wish to change their gender marker, causing confusion within the department’s passport processing operations.

Applicants who call into the State Department’s National Passport Information Center with questions are being told to wait for new guidance before applying if they can, which the center says will be made available “in the coming days.” Those with questions about existing applications are also being told to wait for the same guidance.
Civil liberties groups have criticized the executive order’s limitations on sex and gender identification. Lambda Legal, an LGBTQ advocacy and legal organization, is preparing potential legal action against the executive order so identification documents can “accurately identify” intersex and nonbinary people.
The State Department doesn’t publish data on how many applicants have selected “X” since it was introduced, but UCLA’s Williams Institute estimated at the time that 16,700 people might apply for passports with the “X” identifier each year.
The State Department declined to comment on the matter, saying it “does not comment on leaked internal documents.”
The State Department halts ‘X’ passport gender marker applicationsThe State Department announced on Tuesday that it will be suspending the ability for individuals to apply for a gender marker on their passport that does not align with their male or female gender identity. This change comes after the Biden administration had previously allowed for a third gender option, ‘X’, to be chosen on passport applications.
The decision to halt these applications has sparked controversy and criticism from LGBTQ+ advocacy groups, who argue that it is a setback for transgender and nonbinary individuals who do not identify as strictly male or female. They argue that this change will make it more difficult for individuals to have identification that accurately reflects their gender identity.
The State Department has stated that this decision is based on concerns about potential fraud and the need to implement new security measures. They have not provided a timeline for when the ability to apply for an ‘X’ gender marker will be reinstated.
This move by the State Department highlights the ongoing challenges faced by the transgender and nonbinary community in obtaining accurate identification documents that reflect their gender identity. It is a reminder of the importance of advocating for inclusive policies and protections for all individuals, regardless of their gender identity.
