Last month a federal judge in Boston issued a landmark ruling in Orr v. Trump, striking down the Trump administration’s discriminatory policy that forced U.S. passports to reflect only the sex assigned at birth on US passports.

This remarkable court injunction, expanded to cover ALL trans, nonbinary, and intersex passport holders, allows you to self-select your gender marker—male (M), female (F), or X—WITHOUT needing a corrected birth certificate.

The ACLU is celebrating this critical victory against discrimination but warns that the fight is far from over.

The Trump admin’s January 2025 executive order tried to ban X markers and gender changes on passports, and ongoing legal challenges could reverse this progress. That’s why the ACLU is urging everyone who needs an updated passport to act NOW!

Apply or renew your passport ASAP to secure a gender marker that reflects your true identity.

Key ACLU Guidance:

* Apply Immediately: The State Department is complying with the court order, and some folks have received accurate passports. This is much more successful than the delays experienced earlier this year—prior to the court order.

* Fix Errors: Did you obtain a passport in 2025 with the wrong gender marker? Use Form DS-5504 to request a free correction. The State Department must comply.

* Urgent Travel Needs? Visit a passport office in person—some applicants have successfully updated their passports this way.

* Stay Cautious: The ACLU’s detailed FAQ advises caution until the State Department fully clarifies compliance. Check their website or the State Department’s updated guidance for the latest.

The ACLU calls the latest Trump policies discriminatory and unconstitutional, violating the rights of trans, nonbinary, and intersex individuals. They’re pushing for sustained legal and public pressure to ensure equitable access to accurate IDs and passports.

This ruling is a step toward equality, but the broader attack on trans rights makes this fight urgent. ✊ Visit the ACLU’s website or the State Department for more information. ... See MoreSee Less

In 1994, a short film called Trevor captured hearts and changed lives. Written by James Lecesne, this Academy Award-winning dramedy told the story of Trevor, a fictional 13-year-old gay boy navigating rejection, bullying, and self-doubt about his sexuality. Facing isolation from friends and family, Trevor’s journey took a heartbreaking turn as he attempted suicide. But his story didn’t end there—it sparked a movement.

When filmmakers James Lecesne, Peggy Rajski, and Randy Stone prepared to air Trevor on HBO in 1998, they realized something critical was missing: an actual 24/7 crisis hotline dedicated to LGBTQ youth.

Determined to make a difference, they founded The Trevor Project to provide crisis intervention and suicide prevention services for young people facing struggles like Trevor’s.

The Trevor Project isn’t just named after a movie character—it’s a lifeline inspired by his story, offering hope and support to countless real-life Trevors. Today, it’s the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ youth, providing free, confidential 24/7 support through phone, text, and chat.

Every call, text, or chat to The Trevor Project is a step toward saving lives and building a world where every young person feels seen, valued, and loved for who they are.

Trevor Project’s services are 24/7/365, nationwide, 100% free & confidential. To connect simply text 'START' to 678-678 or call 866-488-7386.

You'll be connected to a Trevor counselor who is understanding of LGBTQ issues and won't judge you. All of your messages are anonymous, and you can share as much or as little as you like. ... See MoreSee Less
