WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration asked the Supreme Court on Friday to let it enforce a passport policy for transgender and nonbinary people that requires male or female sex designations based on birth certificates.
The Justice Department appealed a lower-court order allowing people use the gender or “X” identification marker that lines up with their gender identity.
It’s the latest in a series of emergency appeals from the Trump administration, many of which have resulted in victories amid litigation, including on banning transgender people from the military.
The government argues it can’t be required to use sex designations it considers inaccurate on official documents. The plaintiffs, meanwhile, say the policy violates the rights of transgender and nonbinary Americans.
So, if people’s state ID gender doesn’t match, do they not get to exit or enter the country?
Probably purposeful if so
No. Its fine to have mismatched data between state and federal. The feds trust their own databases unless you provide them contradictory information.
At least from my reading about my state its not an issue. However it is an issue if federal records don’t match other federal records. Don’t change the gender on your passport without changing it with social security, but also you can’t they’re refusing changes. If the feds get contradictory information it will flag their databases and send you a notice. You’ll need a lawyer if that happens.
Research it yourself, your state may vary, but I have not yet had any issues.
