President Trump’s executive order to revoke gender-neutral passport markers has sparked significant debate. The order enforces a binary gender classification for federal documentation, eliminating the “X” gender marker previously introduced under the Biden administration. Supporters argue the move restores clarity and adheres to traditional values, while critics, including LGBTQ+ advocates, view it as discriminatory, undermining progress made toward inclusivity. The policy erases recognition of non-binary identities, potentially deepening social exclusion and psychological distress. Legal challenges are expected, with potential far-reaching implications for future gender identity policies and the rights of gender-diverse individuals in the U.S
