According to senior White House sources, President-elect Donald Trump intends to sign executive orders announcing that the U.S. government would only recognize male and female sexes and that radical and inefficient diversity, equity, and inclusion programs within federal agencies will be discontinued.
Both instructions were combined by White House officials under the broader goal of restoring sanity under the upcoming Trump administration. Prior to Trump’s swearing-in ceremony inside the Capitol Rotunda on Monday, an incoming official described the directives over the phone.
As part of a policy to protect women from extreme gender ideology and restore biological reality to the federal government, the official introduced the gender order.
In addition to requiring Cabinet secretaries to make sure that official government documents, including as passports and visas, appropriately reflect sex, the order attempts to demand that the federal government use the term “sex” rather than “gender.”
Additionally, the directive will add privacy to intimidating locations in institutions like rape shelters, migrant shelters, and jails, and it would prohibit taxpayer monies from being utilized for gender-transition health treatment.
Trump stressed the subject in television commercials, including one that was often broadcast in crucial swing states like Pennsylvania, and ran on a platform of reversing rights for transgender individuals.
The incoming White House official’s second directive is to eliminate preferencing inside the federal government as well as radical and inefficient government DEI projects.
In order to determine whether DEI programs continue to discriminate against Americans and how to stop them, the official stated that the incoming administration will meet regularly with the deputy secretaries of important agencies.
Conservatives, including Trump, have attacked DEI programs nationwide in recent years, calling them discriminatory.
Big businesses including Walmart, McDonald’s, and Meta have declared they are discontinuing some or all of their diversity initiatives in the weeks preceding Trump’s reelection.
Trump is scheduled to take office on Monday at 12 p.m. ET.
