WASHINGTON (Gray News) – President Donald Trump took aim at gender identity during his inauguration speech and plans to follow up with an executive order.
“As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female,” Trump said. [REP-This is an oral quote from President Trump. Read on and see that the actual EO will make the proper distinctions using the word "SEX," which is most proper.]
Trump plans to sign an executive order Monday proclaiming that the U.S. government will recognize only two sexes, male and female.
Sex is to be defined based on whether people are born with eggs or sperm, rather than on their chromosomes.
Under the order, federal prisons and shelters for migrants and rape victims would be segregated by sex as defined by the order. Additionally, federal taxpayer money could not be used to fund “transition services.”
The order aims to require that the federal government use the term “sex” instead of “gender,” and directs the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security to “ensure that official government documents, including passports and visas, reflect sex accurately.”
Trump previously said he is rolling back protections for transgender people and terminating diversity, equity and inclusion programs within the federal government.
