Wow, amazingly good news. Chris, do you think it's likely that the injunction will be in place long enough for a typical American to apply for a passport with name change documents and selecting a gender marker in this way, and get it back? I'm worried about my fiancee sending in her application because of this but a stay being issued by a higher court and State confiscating her passport or sending it back wrong as has happened to others recently.
That's a strong ruling and she seems to have anticipated the various ways the administration might have tried to delay implementation. Kudos to Judge Kobick!
One is dumbfounded. Is the current administration arguing that bigotry is okay as long as it’s for the marginalized? Under what laws? Is discrimination now legal again?

Same for my kid and their best friend

So now is the time to apply? I've been waiting to turn in my son's paperwork.
👏👏👏👏
Does this apply to social security gender change as well? Or is it entirely separate?
Unfortunately, that is totally separate, yeah.

It's all the rage nowadays in the State Department, David
Indeed—all about rage … and bullying … and violence … but amazingly, very little about what is legal versus (ill-) wishful thinking.
Yes!! Great news!!
Thanks Chris. This is good news.
This is a big step in the right direction, proud of those judge. Thank you Chris for sharing this good news.
Do you think other federal IDs are covered, like social security or Nexus cards?
Sorry, asked and answered below already
