Donald Trump signed an executive order titled \u2018Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government\u2019 shortly after returning to office. The order asserts that there are only two genders, male and female, and that these are biologically fixed. As a result, passport applications with an \u2018X\u2019 gender marker, introduced under the Biden administration for non-binary individuals, have been suspended. The policy may also affect non-binary and intersex Americans, although those with \u2018X\u2019 passports may still use them temporarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, the order mandates that transgender women be excluded from female prisons, citing concerns over safety and privacy. The move has sparked mixed reactions, with some advocating for the change, while others warn it could lead to increased harm to transgender prisoners. The administration\u2019s approach to these issues has stirred significant controversy, particularly among LGBTQ+ advocacy groups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
