Big Al, Pooner Vanessa, and this wacky troon "lawyer" have this completely backwards.
The "free speech" right at issue belongs to the government, not the trannies.
"The information contained in a passport is unquestionably government speech. The United States – not the passport holder – controls every aspect of the issuance and appearance of a U.S. passport. A U.S. passport is a government-issued document.
See 22 U.S.C. § 211(a). The function of a passport is to serve as a “letter of introduction in which the issuing sovereign vouches for the bearer and requests other sovereigns to aid the bearer” and as a “travel control document” representing “proof of identify and proof of allegiance to the U.S.

"Passports remain government property even when held by individuals, and must be surrendered to the U.S. government upon demand.
See 22 C.F.R. §§ 51.7(a), 51.66. Individuals have no editorial control over the information in a passport; only the U.S. government may amend a passport.
See 22 C.F.R. § 51.9. Indeed, criminal penalties are imposed on individuals who mutilate or alter their passports.
See 18 U.S.C. § 1543."

Once you identify the correct speaker, the "compelled speech" bullshit completely falls apart,
Hopefully we are seeing the end of taxpayer funded troonery.
We have even more winning to report on........
"NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed a bill into law to
protect educators who misgender transgender students, transgender staff or any other person in their school district.
Lee signed the bill on May 9. The new law could also open schools up to lawsuits if they use students' preferred names or pronouns, effectively requiring educators to misgender transgender students.
HB 1270 was introduced by Representative Mark Cochran (R-Englewood). It was originally around 12 pages long and specifically says educators, contractors or students would not be required to use other people's preferred names or pronouns. The law protects them from lawsuits if they use another person's legal name or pronouns that match their assigned sex at birth."

"A federal appeals court has placed a hold on a suit challenging President Donald Trump’s executive orders that prohibit agencies from funding programs related to gender-affirming health care. In a brief order Monday, the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
put the case into abeyance pending a decision in
United States v. Skrmetti, which is currently under consideration by the US Supreme Court. The nation’s top court
heard oral arguments in
Skrmetti in December and is expected to rule by late June. The issue in
Skrmetti is whether Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors violates the fourteenth aemndment."
"Dozens of trans people and their allies gathered in the outdoor Capitol rotunda Friday, chanting at the top of their lungs. They will not erase us.
The next day, the Texas House of Representatives preliminarily passed a bill that aims to do just that.
House Bill 229 strictly defines men and women based on the reproductive organs they were born with, and orders state records to reflect this binary. The bill, titled the “Women’s Bill of Rights,” lays out the “biological truth for anybody who is confused,” said author Rep.
Ellen Troxclair, an Austin Republican."

"The Texas Legislature has passed legislation requiring insurance companies covering gender mutilation procedures to also cover medical care related to any adverse effects or reversals, sending the bill to Gov. Greg Abbott for final approval.
Senate Bill 1257, authored by State Sen.
Bryan Hughes (R–Mineola) and carried in the House by State Rep.
Jeff Leach (R–Plano), passed the Senate in April and was approved by the House on Monday. The legislation applies to almost all health benefit plans regulated by the state, including private insurance, Medicaid, and CHIP.
Under the bill, insurance providers must cover any adverse medical effects or complications related to a gender mutilation procedure and care for those who seek to detransition. The bill also mandates annual follow-up health screenings and care to manage, reverse, or recover from gender transition procedures."
