President Trump's recent executive order disallows the federal recognition of transgender people, defining sex strictly as male and female based on birth characteristics. Titled "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government," the order aims to eliminate what it deems false claims about gender identity. It requires federal agencies to revise policies, affecting everything from identification documents to healthcare, and stipulating that transgender individuals may no longer be accommodated in federally funded facilities. This order is positioned as a means to defend women's rights and restore governmental trust.
The new Republican administration claims this move will "defend women's rights" and restore "trust in government itself."
The executive order goes beyond semantics, mandating changes with immediate and far-reaching consequences.
