On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order opposing gender diversity and transgender identity, reinstating policies from his first term. This includes housing trans individuals in federal prisons according to their sex assigned at birth and revoke easier processes for changing gender markers on federal documents, such as passports. Trump declared that only two genders exist under U.S. policy, positioning his presidency's approach as a restoration of 'American values' while undermining the validity and rights of trans and nonbinary people.
As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.
Trump's administration plans to revoke policies that facilitated easier updates for trans individuals on federal documents, indicating a rollback on protections introduced by his predecessor.
