On Tuesday, January 20, 2025, newly inaugurated President Trump stood before his supporters and declared, “As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders — male and female.”
His executive order, titled "Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” mandates that all federal agencies and employees enforce sex-based rights and protections using these definitions, explicitly excluding the recognition of non-binary and other gender identities.
