On January 20, 2025, President Trump enacted an executive order aimed at redefining the government's approach to sex and gender, claiming to protect women from "gender ideology extremism." This order denies established scientific knowledge regarding the complexities of gender identity and seeks to enforce rigid gender norms that adversely affect transgender, nonbinary individuals, feminists, and others. The article stresses that scientific consensus acknowledges the biological aspects of sex without dismissing the validity of diverse gender identities, thus highlighting the harmful implications of the order on marginalized communities.
The executive order undermines decades of scientific understanding of sex and gender, targeting not only transgender individuals but also any who challenge gender stereotypes.
Contrary to the claims of the executive order, scientists acknowledge both the biological reality of sex and the complexity of gender identity, which does not always align with biological sex.
