Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism And Restoring Biological Truth To The Federal Government

Presidential Action January 20, 2025 Document 568

Summary

President Donald Trump has issued an executive order titled "Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism And Restoring Biological Truth To The Federal Government," which mandates federal policies to recognize only two biological sexes, male and female, and directs federal agencies to enforce sex-based distinctions in laws and policies. This order aims to eliminate the concept of "gender identity" from federal documents and practices, potentially affecting areas like identification documents, workplace rights, and access to single-sex spaces. The order may face significant legal and political challenges, particularly in light of previous Supreme Court rulings such as *Bostock v. Clayton County*, and could spark debates about civil rights and gender identity across the nation.
