Dump Preparing Executive Order To Declare There Are Only 2 ‘Not Changeable’ Sexes
President Dump plans to sign an executive order that will declare it is official U.S. policy that there are only two sexes, an incoming White House official told reporters Monday.
“It’s a policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female, these are sexes that are not changeable, and they are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality,” the official said about the order, noting that its purpose is “defending women from gender ideology extremism and restoring biological truth to the federal government.”
In practice, this means that the U.S. Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security will only issue passports and visas with either the male or female indicators, and that the federal government will not provide funds, grants or contracts to any group or individual “promoting gender ideology.”
The new order will also ban taxpayer funds from being used for gender-affirming care. This became a big issue in the 2024 general election, when the Dump campaign spent millions of dollars on anti-trans ads, including one about Kamala Harris supporting the federal government paying for gender-affirming surgeries for incarcerated people. The government pays for the health care of everyone who is in a federal prison.
The attorney general will ensure that this executive order will protect the rights of people who have been asked to use preferred pronouns and believe that’s a violation of their freedom of speech and religion, the official said on the call.
Issuing such an executive order as one of his first official moves is a culmination of years of the right being laser-focussed on transgender people in the United States. Through fearmongering about health care for trans people, legislating which bathrooms trans people can use, banning books in classrooms and libraries, and conflating the LGBTQ+ community with sexual abusers, erasing trans people from public life has become one of the biggest priorities for Republicans.

I am up at the Cape most of the summer and I am surrounded by the Cape Cod National Seashore. Just couple of miles from the center of Provincetown is Province Lands Visitor's Center, Race Point Beach, and Herring Cove Beach, all part of the CCNS. I wonder if they will enforce Trump’s edict?
ReplyDeleteWhile I don't see how CCNS has an opt-out from the EO, on the other hand I simply don't see how people simply expressing themselves would be affected. We tend to overlook the 1st Amendment, which clearly states the right to express oneself freely.
DeleteThe convicted felon’s Project 2025 agenda equates "transgenderism" and “transgender ideology” to "pornography" and suggests it should be outlawed. This will lead to increased legal and social challenges for transgender people, affecting their ability to live openly and authentically. Click here to read all about it.
DeleteIt's time for us to increase our support to such organizations as the ACLU to fight these blatant unconstitutional acts.
ReplyDeleteDoes this Executive Order mean that Trump supporter Caitlyn Jenner must now be referred to as, "Bruce"? Just wondering.🤔
ReplyDeleteYes
DeleteOr, " Caitlin the Male " Jenner .
DeleteI would say, "no." There have been several recent 1st Amendment cases that turn on the question of whether mandating speech violates free speech. I don't see how that EO requires one to use their given name.
DeleteOnly the tip of the iceberg! Going to be a 4 year struggle.
ReplyDeleteThus - the ' visual ' intersex individual gets to have two official U.S. Passports .
ReplyDeleteYup that’s one of his policies that pisses me off! But I’m not going to let it bother me I plan on dressing even more in protest. Jill
ReplyDeleteAnd let us refer to him as Donella Trumpka
DeleteMe, too. I've dressed for twenty years and I've gotten to the point where I can run a day's gauntlet in public. It took a lot of practice and effort. But I am just not going to live my life worried about things like xx/xy that I cannot change and take comfort in the 1st Amendment. Freedom of personal expression is the key to this.
DeletePeople living openly every day and don't blend are those at most risk
ReplyDeleteWith all the issues facing this country, the priority of Republicans is to demonize, denigrate, deny and try to erase trans people. WTF is wrong with them? I can't even...
ReplyDeleteI guess all you trans people who said tRumpt would not be that bad, are to blame...just get ready.
ReplyDeleteThe more skin in the game you have, the more scary this vote is
DeleteI don't think Trump is capable of independent thought and is controlled by others who have axes to grind against any and all minority groups. The next four years are going to keep lawyers busy.
ReplyDeleteI'm certainly glad that ignorant people are making decisions about our mental and physical health. NOT!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinition of bigot: attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.
ReplyDelete"don't let a few small-minded bigots destroy the good image of the city"
Good word for GOP
Its going to be a rough 4 years.He'll do what he wants regardless of the law. Its already started. The worst part it will encourage his followers to do the same. I use to wonder how Germany got Hitler I don't any more
ReplyDeleteIs it just a coincidence that TCM is showing anti-Nazi films all day today?
ReplyDeleteIt's all perspective folks. I would rather be trans in the good old USA rather than in the middle east or China.
ReplyDeleteThe only control we have is of ourselves, as we can't control whatever doofus who's in the White House, does.

Many crossdressers are fully or partly closeted but transgender people living full time will be the ones bearing the brunt of right wing empowerment under orange boy
