Thursday, January 23, 2025 11:25 AM

The Trump administration plans to introduce stricter gender regulations by replacing the term "gender" with "sex" to highlight biological classification. This change will affect official documents, such as passports, where the option for individuals with non-conforming gender identities to select "X" as their gender will be removed. Additionally, the executive order calls for creation of single-sex spaces in intimate areas like prisons and shelters while also limiting funding for organizations that promote diversity and gender ideology.
