Trump Administration Orders Federal Agencies to End Initiatives Supporting Gender Ideology
President Donald Trump has issued several executive orders instructing federal agencies to end initiatives that support 'gender ideology.' These directives include:
Executive Order 14168: This order, titled "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government," mandates that federal agencies recognize only two sexes, male and female, and defines sex as an "immutable characteristic".
Sweeping Executive Actions: In a series of back-to-back moves, the Trump administration has demonstrated a clear shift in how the federal government will approach gender and diversity issues, including ending diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEI) programs within federal agencies.
These orders reflect a broader policy shift towards a more traditional interpretation of gender roles and a reduction in initiatives that support gender diversity and transgender rights within the federal government.
