President Donald Trump signed an executive order making it official U.S. policy that the only two genders are male and female.
The policy was among a series of executive orders signed by the president immediately upon his arrival at the White House.
Under the order, which was titled “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” the administration vows to “defend women’s rights and protect freedom of conscience by using clear and accurate language and policies that recognize women are biologically female, and men are biologically male.”
The order ends diversity and inclusion initiatives instituted by the Biden administration to combat “transgender insanity.”
The Hill reports:
The executive order, which pledges to defend women from “gender ideology” and restore “biological truth to the federal government,” defines male and female not by physical or chromosomal differences but by reproductive function, which an administration official said was done intentionally.
“Chromosomes are characteristic of your sex, but the binary nature of sex, the reason you and I are all here, is deeper than that. It is the large reproductive cell, the small reproductive cell, working together in a binary function in order to perpetuate the species,” the official said.
Federal agencies should use the term “sex” instead of “gender” and remove statements, policies, and communications that “promote gender ideology,” according to the order. Agencies should give effect to the order’s definitions when applying their statutes, regulations and guidance.
The order will stop the practice of allowing people to choose their gender markers on their passports and identification cards.
Additionally, the order states, “The Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security shall ensure that males are not detained in women’s prisons or housed in women’s detention centers, including through amendment, as necessary, of Part 115.41 of title 28, Code of Federal Regulations and interpretation guidance regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act.”
