After returning to the White House, Donald Trump swiftly signed executive orders reversing key policies, enforcing a strict binary gender definition on federal documents. Non-binary and transgender individuals now face restrictions on passports, legal records, and other official documents.
The rapid implementation has sparked confusion, legal challenges, and advocacy group mobilization. Beyond documentation, the order affects prisons and broader federal policies on gender identity. Lawsuits are already underway, raising major concerns about LGBTQ+ rights in the U.S. Understanding these changes is crucial for those directly impacted and those invested in the future of gender identity rights.
