Citing Biological Truth,' Kennedy Issues Guidance Recognizing Only Two Sexes
Briefly

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced new federal guidance reiterating traditional sex definitions to support banning transgender women from female sports. This comes in response to President Trump's executive order promoting a binary view of gender. The guidance defines 'male' and 'female' based on biological reproductive functions and highlights changes from the previous administration's policies. A new webpage, 'Protecting Women and Children,' features swimmer Riley Gaines discussing competitive disadvantages faced by women athletes. Kennedy expressed a commitment to enabling Americans to achieve their full potential while adhering to biological truths.
Mr. Kennedy stated, "This administration is bringing back common sense and restoring biological truth to the federal government," emphasizing a return to traditional sex definitions.
The new guidance reaffirms that "these sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality," in line with Trump's executive order.
Riley Gaines, in a featured video, expressed her concerns, stating she was put at a competitive disadvantage competing against a transgender woman.
The initiative includes a new webpage titled 'Protecting Women and Children,' which aims to communicate the importance of sex-based definitions in public policy.
