A judge in Massachusetts has blocked the State Department from enforcing an executive order that required Americans to select their gender on new passports.

A group of transgender and nonbinary plaintiffs sued the Trump administration over the policy, claiming that the executive order was discriminatory against them.

Applicants can still still select "X" on a passport application form.
