President Trump Enacts Sweeping Policies Rolling Back Transgender Protections and DEI Programs
In his first executive actions, Trump mandates recognition of only two biological sexes and eliminates diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in federal agencies.
- Donald Trump signed multiple executive orders immediately after his inauguration, fulfilling campaign promises to dismantle policies associated with 'woke ideology.'
- One order establishes the federal government's official recognition of only two biological sexes, male and female, defined at birth.
- Federal documents, such as passports and visas, will no longer include non-binary options introduced under the Biden administration.
- Programs promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across federal agencies, including the military, have been ordered to cease.
- The new policies mark a significant rollback of protections and recognition for transgender individuals, affecting over 1.3 million adults and 300,000 adolescents in the U.S.
