President Trump Signs 200 Executive Orders Ending DEI Programs, Recognizing Two Genders

Jan 20, 2025, 05:36 PM

President Donald Trump is set to sign an estimated 200 executive orders on his first day in office, aiming to end federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and establish that the U.S. government recognizes only two genders: male and female. The orders will define sex based on biological reality and affect government identification documents such as passports. The administration plans to remove gender ideology guidance and policies, end taxpayer-funded gender transitions for prisoners, and cease housing biological men in women's prisons. In his inauguration speech, Trump stated, 'We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based.' These executive actions represent a departure from previous policies on gender identity and DEI initiatives.
