President Trump's Executive Order 14166 enforces a binary understanding of gender, mandating federal agencies to recognize only two sexes. This has implications for transgender rights, as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) rolls back its anti-discrimination policies. Acting Chair Andrea Lucas announced that the agency would prioritize a biological definition of sex and has eliminated features like the pronoun app. Furthermore, changes to intake processes for discrimination claims will complicate legal recourse for transgender and nonbinary individuals, reflecting a broader anti-trans agenda introduced by the Trump administration.
The executive order mandates that federal agencies recognize only two unchangeable sexes assigned at conception, rolling back protections for transgender Americans.
Andrea Lucas emphasized her agency's priorities to defend the biological and binary reality of sex, jeopardizing rights for transgender employees.
The removal of the agency's pronoun app contributes to a hostile environment, part of a broader trend against transgender rights in the Trump administration.
Changes in the EEOC's intake process are erasing recognition of nonbinary identities and creating barriers for transgender employees seeking legal recourse.
