"The executive order, titled 'Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government', claimed so-called "ideologues who deny the biological reality of sex" have "used" the law to "eradicate the biological reality of sex". Trump went on to state his administration will "defend women's rights and protect freedom of conscience by using clear and accurate language and policies that recognize women are biologically female, and men are biologically male"."
"O'Neill's lawsuit, which was filed at the U.S. District Court in Maryland, says Trump's executive order "declares that it is the policy of the United States government to deny Ms. O'Neill's very existence". She said since the executive order was signed her workplace has revoked its policy recognising her as a trans person and her "right to a workplace free of unlawful harassment," whilst also "prohibiting her from identifying her pronouns as female in written communications" and "barring her from using the women's restroom at work"."
A transgender NSA data scientist filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Maryland challenging Executive Order 14168. The executive order declared that the United States will only recognise two sexes, male and female, and described them as immutable, portraying those who deny that view as ideologues. The suit alleges the order directs government policy to deny the plaintiff's existence and has led the workplace to revoke recognition of her trans status, strip harassment protections, prohibit listing female pronouns in written communications, and bar use of the women's restroom. The suit invokes Section VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its amendments including protections for gender identity and sexual orientation.
