President Trump plans to sign executive orders recognizing only two sexes, male and female, and ending diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in federal agencies. The orders aim to require the federal government to use the term 'sex' instead of 'gender' and prevent taxpayer funds from being used for gender-transition healthcare. The administration also plans to dismantle DEI bureaucracy and end 'preferencing' based on race, ethnicity, or gender identity.
President Donald Trump on Monday plans 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, according to senior White House officials. The officials grouped both orders under the Trump administration’s wider “restoring sanity” agenda. The orders were detailed by an incoming official on a phone call Monday ahead of Trump’s swearing-in.
Day because “this is order is meant to return to the promise and the hope, captured by civil rights champions, that one day all Americans can be treated on the basis of their character, not by the color of their skin.” In recent years, Trump and conservatives have assailed DEI initiatives across American society, characterizing them as discriminatory.
