Trump’s Day One Executive Order on the “Biological Reality” of “Male and Female”. Government identification like passports and personnel records will reflect “biological reality” and not self-assessed gender identity.

How Trump’s New EO Will Change Transgender Protections Overnight

  • Passports and Other Official Documents: By reinstating the binary options of “male” or “female” on official documentation, individuals who updated their documents under Biden-era policies could find themselves in a legal limbo regarding the validity of those changes.
  • Public Universities and Schools: The new executive order prohibits what it terms “forced recitation” of pronouns. Since public universities must adhere to federal regulations, administrators may be required to amend existing policies or face the potential loss of federal funding. This shift is likely to spark a wave of lawsuits.
  • Incarcerated Trans Individuals: One of the most pressing concerns is for incarcerated trans individuals—particularly trans women—who may now be placed in men’s facilities, raising significant safety and human rights issues.

Opinion: Alberta’s new legislation for transgender youth harms more than it helps

New York Times/Ipsos survey show that 79% of Americans think that trans women should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports.

The survey also shows that 49 percent think that “Society has gone too far in accommodating transgender people,” 21 percent that “Society has not gone far enough in accommodating transgender people,” and 28 percent says that “Society has reached a reasonable balance when it comes to accommodating transgender people.”

If we are kind we can say that the US is split 49/49 when it comes to how they see trans people.

Regardless, it is clear that the LGBTQ community has not managed to make people see that trans women in women sports is not a question about fairness in sports, but an attempt at stigmatizing trans women.
