President Donald Trump is set to sign executive orders on Monday that will reverse gender and sex-based initiatives implemented by the Biden administration and eliminate diversity programs within the federal government. These actions, as outlined by an incoming White House official, reflect Trump's commitment to addressing culture war issues that were central to his campaign.
The first executive order will mandate agencies to treat biological men and women as distinct sexes, cease the promotion of 'gender ideology,' and require certain agencies to only recognize 'male' and 'female' on official forms. For instance, the State Department will now demand that passport and visa applicants accurately reflect their sex on documentation. Additionally, federal prisons and migrant shelters will be obligated to safeguard 'single sex spaces.'
