Summary

On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order mandating federal agencies use the term “sex” instead of “gender,” erasing recognition of gender identity.

This has led to the removal of essential information from government websites, including Social Security Administration guides on changing sex identification, LGBTQIA+ resources, and State and Labor Department pages on gender discrimination and passports.

Critics argue the policy spreads misinformation, adds stress for LGBTQ+ individuals, and echoes Trump’s previous suppression of climate change data during his first term.

    I don’t know what they think they’re going to accomplish in the end game of this, but no matter how bad they want it, no matter what laws and regulations they enact- there is NO way they’re going to erase gender diversity because It’s a part of the human condition. It’s WHO WE ARE.

    Try as they might, and do as they will, but It’s impossible to change who people are through legislation.

      Genocide sometimes does work. He can literally imprison and force all trans and non binary folks to work in the Tesla tunnels until they die.

      That’s exactly what they want to accomplish. But like most things, they have absolutely no idea how to actually achieve their goals.
