The State Department, acting on a presidential executive order, has ended the use of a third-gender marker on passports and won't allow gender changes on them.
Experts hold little hope for trans individuals attempting to change their gender markers in the red state.
Transgender Americans "may face barriers to voting in person" due to a "mismatch with their information as listed on voter registration rolls," according to a new report.
The rule applies even if a person has updated their birth certificates, or even potentially if they have a court order.
The Gender Recognition Act of 2022 made a third gender option available on state-issued identification in New York.
Transgender, nonbinary, and intersex residents are suing over a new policy that makes it nearly impossible to change their gender marker and bans the use of a gender-neutral one.
The new rule mirrors an old rule which was defeated in court.
