The Donald Trump administration on Friday asked the Supreme Court to halt a judge's order, allowing transgender and nonbinary people to choose the sex marker on their passports.
The court order allows transgender and nonbinary people to request a male, female or 'X' identification marker rather than being limited to the marker that matches the gender on their birth certificate.
The Justice Department argues the government cannot be required to use sex designations that it considers inaccurate on official documents.
The order came after a lawsuit challenging an executive order from President Trump that required people to choose male or female based on the designations on their birth certificate.
