Caitlyn Jenner asked President Trump for help reversing the ban on transgender passports and driver’s licenses.
Just hours after Trump took office in January 2025, he implemented a policy requiring U.S. passports to reflect a person’s biological sex.
Jenner came out as transgender in 2015 and presents as a female. Jenner changed the gender on all government documents to reflect their preferred gender identity.
Since January 2025, the federal government recognizes only two sexes, male and female, on federal documents.
Driver’s licenses held by transgender and nonbinary people were revoked by most U.S. states earlier this year.
Trump’s trans policy was upheld by the Supreme Court.
After Trump’s policy went into effect in January, Jenner, 76, was forced to change the gender markers on all documents to “male.”
Jenner reportedly pleaded with Trump to keep their female gender listed on all government documents.
“I can’t travel internationally anymore. I can’t use my passport,” Jenner said on an episode of “Tomi Lahren is Fearless” podcast.
Jenner wrote President Trump a letter “explaining all of this to him, how it’s affecting me and a lot of other people.” But Trump has not responded to Jenner’s letter.
The gold medalist believes transgender issues are not high on the president’s list of priorities.
Jenner, who is Republican, said the canceled documents can also prevent their ability to vote in 2028.
Jenner doesn’t believe the policy was well thought out.
