President Donald Trump has attacked transgender and non -binary people with a series of executive orders since he returned to office.
He has done it with a strong language. In an executive order, he said that “medical professionals are mutilating and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false statement that adults can change the sex of a child.”
That is a dramatic reversion of the administration policies of former President Joe Biden, and the main medical organizations, which supported the attention that gender affirms.
The lawyer of the American Union of Civil Liberties, Sruti Swaminathan, said that to put into force, the provisions of the orders must first go through federal regulation procedures, which can last years and include the possibility of public comments.
“When you have the Commander in Chief of the Nation demonizing the transgender people, he certainly sends a signal to all Americans,” said Sarah Warbelow, legal director of the Human Rights campaign.
Things you should know about Trump’s actions:
On Trump’s first day, he issued a Scan order That pointed out a great change in how his administration would deal with transgender people and their rights.
He asks his existence by saying that the government would recognize only two immutable sexes: women and men.
The declared purpose is to protect women. “The efforts to eradicate the biological reality of sex fundamentally attack women by depriving them of their dignity, security and well -being.” The order says.
The document requires government agencies to use the new definitions of the sexes and stop using the taxpayer’s money to promote what calls “gender ideology”, the idea widely accepted by medical experts that gender falls of a spectrum.
Federal agencies have fulfilled quickly. Andrea Lucas, the interim president of the Commission of Employment Equal Opportunities of the United States, for example, announced this week that she would eliminate the identity pronouns of the online profiles of the employees and rejected the gender score “X” for Those who present charges for discrimination.
“Biology is not intolerance. Biological sex is real and important,” Lucas said in a statement.
On Friday, the information about what Trump calls “gender ideology” was eliminated from federal government websites and the term “gender” was replaced by “sex” to compete with the order. The Prison Office stopped informing the number of transgender imprisoned people and the centers for disease control and prevention eliminated lessons to build support school environments for transgender and non -binary students.
Researchers have found Less than 1% of adults identify as transgender and less than 2% are intersex, or are born with physical features that do not fit the typical definitions for men or women.
In the order that asks for a new federal definition of the sexes, Trump included some specific cases in which the policy must be changed, even in passports.
The State Department immediately ceased to grant new or updated passport requests with gender markers that do not conform to the new definition.
The agency no longer issues the documents with an “X” that some people who do not identify as at male or female request and will not honor requests to change gender markers between “M” and “F” for transgender people.
The option to choose “X” was withdrawn from online passport application forms on Friday.
ACLU says that a lawsuit is considering.
Trump’s initial order required transgender women in federal custody to move to men’s prisons. Warbelow, from the Human Rights campaign, said his organization has received reports from lawyers that some have been.
The Federal Prison Office did not immediately respond to requests for information on such movements.
There have been at least two demands trying to block politics. In one, a federal judge has said that a transgender woman in a Massachusetts prison must be housed with the general population of a woman’s prison and continue receiving medical attention that the genre affirms for now.
Trump prepared the stage for a prohibit transgender people In the army, ordering the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to occur to him A new policy on the subject at the end of March.
In it Executive orderThe president said that being transgender “conflicts a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, veracilized and disciplined lifestyle, even in the personal life of one.”
Trump prohibited members of the transgender service in their first term in office, but a court blocked the effort.
A group of active military immediately sued for the new order this week.
Trump asked to stop the use of federal money to support Medical attention affirmed by gender For transgender young people under 19 years.
The attention in question includes the puberty that blocks drugs, hormonal therapy and surgery affirming gender, which is rare for minors.
If completely implemented, the order Cut government health insurance including Medicaid and Tricare, which serves military families, for treatments.
It also asks the Congress to adopt a law against attention, although if that happens it depends on legislators.
Twenty -six states have already approved laws that prohibit or limit the attention affirmed by gender for minors, so the change could be smaller in those places.
Some Hospitals have stopped Some gender attention for people under 19 years after the executive order while evaluating how they could apply to them.
Other Executive order This week seeks to stop “radical indoctrination” in the nation’s school system.
He Calls to the Department of Education To prepare a policy that blocks schools to use federal funds to support students who are socially in transition or using their curriculum to promote the idea that gender can be fluid, along with certain teachings about the race.
The order would prevent schools from demanding that teachers and other school personnel use names and pronouns align with the gender identification of transgender students instead of sex that were assigned at birth.
Some districts and states have approved those requirements to prevent the light of the dead, the practice of referring to the transgender people who have changed their name with the name they used before their transition. It is considered widely insensitive, offensive or traumatic.
