Trump to Sign 'Defending Women from Gender Ideology' Executive Order on First Day, Recognizing Only Two Sexes
Jan 20, 2025, 10:17 AM
On his first day in office, U.S. President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order titled 'Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.' This order aims to establish a government-wide recognition of the biological reality of two sexes, clearly defining male and female. The executive order will remove all guidance, communication, policies, and forms related to radical gender ideology, cease the practice of housing men in women's prisons, end taxpayer-funded transitions for prisoners, and prohibit the forced recitation of preferred pronouns in federal workplaces and publicly funded institutions. It also mandates that federal identification documents reflect biological sex rather than self-assessed gender identity and prohibits transgender-identifying males from participating in women's sports or being housed in women's facilities. This move is expected to ignite significant legal and cultural battles, with opposition from LGBTQ+ advocates and civil rights groups.
