What to know about President Donald Trump's order targeting the rights of transgender people
Briefly

President Trump's executive order on sex definition limits federal recognition to male and female genders, rejecting any nonbinary or gender transition identities. This order affects official documents and policies, such as passport issuance and federal prison assignments. It is criticized for its scientific inaccuracies, particularly in defining sex based on reproductive cells present at conception, a claim disputed by biologists. The order may face considerable legal challenges for its implications on transgender rights and its divergence from the broader medical consensus on gender.
The order rejects that people can transition between genders, defining sex strictly as male or female, contrary to the views of many medical organizations.
Trump's order, based on reproductive cells, suggests humans have distinct male or female cells at conception, which biologists argue is scientifically inaccurate.
