On his first day in office, Trump took significant executive action to preserve the integrity of men and women and eradicate gender ideology from the federal government.
Trump pledged to use his 2024 presidential campaign to affirm the inherent distinction between the two sexes, men and women, and reverse the spread of gender ideology promoted under the Biden administration. President Trump said on Monday,Protecting women from gender ideological extremism and restoring biological truth to the federal government” defends the integrity of men and women by requiring the federal government to apply “clear and precise language,” such as requiring the use of the term “sex” instead of “gender.”
“My administration will protect women’s rights and freedom of conscience by using clear and precise language and policies that recognize women are biologically female and men are biologically male.” ,” the EO said.
“When administering or enforcing distinctions based on sex, all federal agencies and all federal employees acting on behalf of that agency in an official capacity must comply with all applicable federal policies and documents, rather than ‘gender’ The term “gender” shall be used.
President Trump’s order defines male and female as “immutable biological” categories and notes that “gender” is not synonymous with the term “gender identity.”
“’Gender’ shall refer to the immutable biological classification of an individual as either male or female. “Sex” is not a synonym for “gender identity” and does not include that concept,” the EO states.

“Gender identity” is a term used by transgender activists to describe an individual’s imaginary gender. Transgender activists believe that a person’s imaginary gender is as real as their physical gender and should have equal weight in society and the law.
For example, in April 2024, the Biden administration will expand Title IX rules that prohibit discrimination based on sex to include “gender identity,” giving men who claim a female “gender identity” access to women’s sports and private spaces. gave full legal access to. . A federal judge recently struck down expanded Title IX regulations in a lawsuit brought against the Biden administration by six states, including Tennessee.
Jordan Kemper, campaign director for Independent Women, praised President Trump for protecting women by correctly defining the terms “gender identity” and “sex.”
“Words must have meaning. The radical view that ‘gender identity’ means the same thing as ‘sex’ has proven that when words are left undefined, women pay the price.” ” Kemper said.
“President Trump’s executive order recognizes violations of women’s rights and condemns the confusion of ‘gender identity’ and ‘sex.’ The government and courts now believe that laws aimed at women and girls cannot be misinterpreted. No. The American people asked for this clarity, and President Trump has delivered it,” Kemper added.
Transgender activists often use the terms “gender” and “sexual identity” interchangeably.
The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) explained how these terms are used interchangeably in gender health guidance. Treatment Standards Version 8 (SOC 8) is routinely used by national and international medical associations, governments, and insurance companies to create policies based on gender ideology.

“Depending on the context, gender can refer to gender identity, gender expression, and/or social gender roles, including the understandings and expectations culturally tied to people assigned male or female at birth. ” states SOC 8.
“Gender identities other than male and female (which can be either cisgender or transgender) include transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, gender neutral, agender, gender fluid, and Includes three genders, etc. Many other genders are also recognized around the world. ”
This clouding of language is visible throughout the medical establishment, including the National Institutes of Health. define gender “Gender identity and expression, and a multidimensional construct that includes social and cultural expectations regarding the status, characteristics, and behaviors associated with particular gender characteristics.”
The Trump administration acknowledged how corrupt language by transgender activists is having a “corrosive impact” on American society, saying: system” in the EO. “Basing federal policy in truth is critical to scientific research, public safety, morale, and trust in government itself.”
🚨 New documents reveal that WPATH hired experts from Johns Hopkins University to conduct a series of systematic reviews of the evidence supporting “gender-affirming” care.
Researchers “found little or no evidence for children and adolescents.”

The term “gender identity” was popularized by controversy in the 1960s. sexologist john moneyThe most high-profile experiment involved advising the parents of a boy whose penis was damaged in a botched circumcision to have the remaining part removed and raised as a girl. The boy, who was raised as “Brenda”, discovered the truth at age 15 and refused further hormone treatment. In the end, he committed suicide at the age of 38.

Gender ideology believes that a person’s gender can be different from their “gender identity” and rejects long-established scientific understanding. biology There are only two sexes, based on the fact that there are only two types of reproductive cells: sperm and eggs.
The very concept of “gender identity” creates the possibility of changing gender through medical intervention, which is biologically impossible, and thus creates a demand for medical gender reassignment interventions.
WPATH defines “gender identity”. SOC8 The Trump administration defines it as “an entirely internal and subjective sense of self, divorced from biological reality.”
The EO further explains that “gender identity” cannot be used to replace the objective reality of sex because it is entirely subjective to the individual.
“‘Gender identity’ reflects a completely internal and subjective sense of self, separate from biological reality and sex, and exists on an infinite continuum, and is a term for identification. “We cannot recognize it as a substitute for sex without providing meaningful evidence,” President Trump said. state.
