A federal judge blocks the Trump administration from enacting a policy that bans the use of “X” marker used by many nonbinary people on passports.

In an executive order signed in January , the president used a narrow definition of the sexes instead of a broader conception of gender.

The order says a person is male or female and rejects the idea that someone can transition from the sex assigned at birth to another gender.
