Executive Orders Targeting Transgender Rights and Gender Identity Recognition
A sweeping executive order redefining sex across the federal government, with material consequences for transgender individuals in detention, healthcare, and civil documentation.
- EO 14168 defines gender as an immutable male-female binary determined 'at conception,' rejecting gender identity as a legal category.
- Transgender individuals in federal custody must be housed according to birth sex, increasing documented risk of sexual violence.
