Trump's Executive Orders on Gender Issues

In his first month in office, Trump signed a historic number of executive orders, four of which directly addressed issues related to transgenderism. One significant order established the binary concept of gender, asserting that the U.S. recognizes only two genders, while another aimed to prevent men from competing in women’s sports. Additionally, these orders prevented transgender individuals from serving in the military and stopped federal funding for gender-affirming medical procedures for minors. The proposals have attracted backlash, especially from Democrats in Congress, who unanimously voted against a bill limiting transgender participation in women's sports, illustrating a significant divide on this issue.
