Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism And Restoring Biological Truth To The Federal Government
President Donald Trump issued an executive order titled "Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism And Restoring Biological Truth To The Federal Government."

It directs agencies to enforce sex-based rights and protections, ensuring that government-issued identification reflects biological sex rather than gender identity. The order also calls for the removal of policies and communications that promote gender ideology and prohibits the use of federal funds to support such ideology. Additionally, it requires the Attorney General to issue guidance to protect sex-based distinctions and ensure single-sex spaces are designated by biological sex.

Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing
On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an order to terminate all federal government programs related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), as well as diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) mandates. This directive aims to eliminate what the order describes as discriminatory and wasteful practices introduced during the Biden Administration. The Office of Management and Budget, alongside the Attorney General and the Office of Personnel Management, is tasked with overseeing the cessation of these programs and revising federal employment practices to focus on individual merit. Each federal agency must report on existing DEI-related positions and programs and take steps to align with the new policy of equal dignity and respect for all individuals. This order reflects a shift in federal policy towards prioritizing individual performance over DEI considerations.
