Trump Sworn In As US President, Vows To Sign Executive Orders Recognizing Only Male, Female Gender

Donald Trump has been sworn in as the President of the United States for the second term on Monday, January 20.

The newly inaugurated President in his inaugural speech, vowed to sign executive orders proclaiming that the U.S. government will recognize only two sexes, male and female, and ending “radical and wasteful” diversity, equity and inclusion programs inside federal agencies.

“What we’re doing today is defining that it is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes: male and female,” a presidential official earlier said.

“The Department of Treasury — this is a little a while ago now — included diversity training that said all white people, regardless of how woke they are, contribute to racism. So this type of funding, we’re going to end at these (diversity) programs. We’re going to end that,” the official said.

The orders were detailed by an incoming official on a phone call Monday ahead of Trump’s swearing-in.

The official presented the gender order as part of a policy “defending women from gender ideology extremism and restoring biological truth to the federal government.”

The executive order seeks to mandate the federal government to use the term "sex" rather than "gender" and directs the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security to ensure that official government documents, such as passports and visas, accurately reflect sex.

Additionally, the order will prevent taxpayer money from being used for gender-transition health care and will enforce “privacy in intimate spaces” in facilities like prisons, migrant shelters, and rape crisis centers.
