Donald Trump plans to sign a pair of executive orders on Monday that will make sweeping changes to how the federal government approaches gender, including erasing protections and recognition for transgender people and ending federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
During his inaugural address, Trump claimed his administration would “end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.” The White House has described the orders as part of its immediate priorities to “protect women from radical gender ideology” and “bring back American values.”
