The decision to revoke gender-neutral passports has sparked widespread backlash from advocacy groups, legal experts, and the LGBTQ+ community. Organizations like the ACLU and Human Rights Campaign (HRC) have condemned the move, calling it an attack on the rights and dignity of non-binary individuals. Legal challenges are expected, with lawsuits likely focused on constitutional issues like equal protection and First Amendment rights. Politically,

the order has drawn a sharp divide. Conservative lawmakers, like Senator Josh Hawley, support the move, framing it as a rejection of “radical gender ideology.” Meanwhile, Democratic leaders, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, argue that the order is discriminatory and undermines individual rights. The legal and political fallout is expected to continue for years.
