In his inauguration speech, President Donald Trump announced a policy recognizing “only two genders” based on biological sex, sparking outrage within the LGBTQ+ community. His executive order, titled “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism,” eliminates the recognition of gender identity in government forms and communications. As part of the policy, Secretary of State Marco Rubio removed the “X” gender marker option on passports, reversing a policy introduced by Antony Blinken. Additionally, Trump’s administration plans to end federal support for gender-affirming care and transition programs.
