  • Claims spread that newly-inaugurated President Donald Trump would sign one or several executive orders preventing people from choosing their gender identity, and those who depend on the federal government from accessing gender-affirming care
  • including inmates.

The article discusses former President Donald Trump's executive order, which he announced during a campaign event in Iowa, aimed at recognizing only two genders, male and female, in federal law. This order would effectively erase recognition of transgender, non-binary, and other gender identities in federal policy. Trump's proposal is part of his broader campaign promises to undo what he describes as "left-wing gender insanity." Critics argue that this move not only targets transgender rights but also could lead to widespread discrimination by denying legal recognition to individuals who do not identify strictly as male or female.

Legal experts and advocacy groups have expressed concerns over the implications for civil rights, suggesting that such an order would face significant legal challenges.
