BOSTON (AP) — When Ash Lazarus Orr went to renew his passport in early January, the transgender organizer figured it would be relatively routine.
But more than two months on, Orr is waiting to get a new passport with a name change and a sex designation reflecting who he is. The delay has prevented him from traveling overseas to receive gender-affirming care this month in Ireland since he refuses to get a passport that lists an “inaccurate sex designation.”
Orr blames the delay on President Donald Trump, who on the day he took office issued an executive order banning the use of the “X” marker as well as the changing of gender markers. The order says a person is male or female and it rejects the idea that someone can transition from the sex assigned at birth to another gender.
“This is preventing me from having an accurate identification and the freedom to move about the country as well as internationally,” said Orr, who is among seven plaintiffs — five transgender Americans and two nonbinary plaintiffs — who have sued the Trump administration in federal court over the policy. “This has really, truly impeded on my life and my freedom as well ... The government is questioning who I am as a trans person.”
The American Civil Liberties Union is suing the federal government on their behalf and will be in court Tuesday in Boston seeking a preliminary injunction, which would put the policy on hold while the lawsuit proceeds in court.
“We all have a right to accurate identity documents, and this policy invites harassment, discrimination, and violence against transgender Americans who can no longer obtain or renew a passport that matches who they are,” ACLU lawyer Sruti Swaminathan said.

Fat, stupid, and ugly.
Pretending is no longer on the menu
If the mentally ill were on a no-fly list as they should be, this wouldn’t be an issue.
Trannies are one of the greatest threats to America. Those clowns aren’t right.
Anyone is free to change their gender provided they begin with the chromosome replacement first.
Falsifying a government document is a federal crime.
Note to this sick, ugly freak.The days of sick freaks dictating social policy are now being ended by non freaks. Go away now.
All 5 of em?
The ACLU lawyer is actually right, but not in the way he thinks. These documents are meant to tell who you are, not who you think you are.
It’s a free country. So if I want to call myself Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French - why not? That doesn’t mean I have the right to have that title on all my government documents.
Anyway, here I am returning to the fields of Waterloo. This time I won’t be losing.
Well done sir!
So the ancient expression “the lunatics are running the asylum” is not longer valid as a reproach?
Just show us all, leave the country and go to Ireland.
[He don’t have a passport...]
LOL
EYE Bleach!
At all.
Exactly.
Or better yet, leave our planet.
Love how AP tries their absolute hardest to make this a story. Trannies raising hell is like swatting flies
