The Trump administration has mandated all federal agencies to stop recognizing gender identity, insisting on a binary definition of sex and gender by mid-August. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management has directed agencies to implement Executive Order 14168, focusing on revoking gender-inclusive policies and disbanding diversity programs. This mandate replaces previous protections for transgender individuals with a definition of sex that is framed as 'binary and unchangeable,' effectively erasing inclusive practices established over the past decade and presenting this shift as a reinstatement of 'biological reality.'
The Trump administration's mandate requires federal agencies to eliminate recognition of gender identity, enforcing a rigid binary definition of sex by mid-August.
According to the order, 'sex is binary and unchangeable,' denouncing gender identity as a 'radical new movement' and undermining civil rights protections for transgender workers.
The directive demands the revocation of gender-inclusive policies, disbandment of diversity programs, and strict adherence to biologically based definitions in federal operations.
The administration frames these changes as a return to 'biological reality,' whereas many view it as dismantling hard-won rights cloaked in bureaucratic language.
