After being sworn into office, Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders that notably include an anti-trans measure which stipulates the U.S. will only recognize two unchangeable sexes: male and female. This order mandates government employees to use 'sex' instead of 'gender' in official documentation, influencing how IDs like passports will be issued. Alongside this, Trump announced a host of other orders aimed at reversing policies on diversity and equity, ending birth-right citizenship, and withdrawing from the World Health Organization. His inauguration triggered protests advocating for abortion and trans healthcare rights, with leaders vowing to resist such measures.
