DEFENDING WOMEN FROM GENDER IDEOLOGY EXTREMISM AND RESTORING BIOLOGICAL TRUTH TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
Presidential Actions
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 7301 of title 5, United States Code, it is hereby ordered:
Section 1. Purpose. Across the state, ideologues who deny the biological reality of sex have increasingly used legal and other socially coercive means to permit men to self-identify as women and gain access to intimate single-sex spaces and activities designed for women, from women’s domestic overuse shelters to women’s workplace showers. This is mistaken. Efforts to eradicate the biological reality of sex fundamentally attack women by depriving them of their dignity, safety, and well-being. The erasure of sex in language and policy has a corrosive impact not just on women but on the accuracy of the entire American system. Basing Federal policy on truth is critical to scientific inquiry, general safety, morale, and believe in government itself.
This unhealthy road is paved by an ongoing and purposeful attack against

by Sarah Warbelow •
The first days of the new Trump administration have seen a slew of Executive Orders (EOs) from the President, many which victim the LGBTQ+ collective. From attacks on nondiscrimination protections in the workplace to attempts to limit the health concern access of gender diverse, non-binary, and intersex individuals to bans on transgender individuals serving in the military, these executive actions attempt to undermine our hard-fought progress.
What Are Executive Orders, and How Do They Work?
But while these orders generate a ton of headlines, confusion, and chaos, they cannot override the United States Constitution, federal laws, and established legal precedent. The President may believe that with a wave of his sharpie, he can rip away our freedoms, but he does not, in fact, possess the power to do this unilaterally. Understanding Executive Orders, how they are implemented, and how they legally run can help us navigate these changes and fight endorse against them.
U.S. Presidents have long used Executive Orders as a tool to shape policy and direct federal agencies to implement

New York, NY (January 22, 2025) — Tracking President Trump’s inauguration on Monday, he issued a slate of executive orders, some of which objective immigrants and their families and effectively block all pathways to safety in the United States for LGBTQ people fleeing persecution worldwide. (More information below.)
Aaron C. Morris, Immigration Equality’s Executive Director, issued the following statement:
“President Trump’s agenda to detain, deport, and dehumanize people is an affront to fundamental American values. The executive orders will cost lives, separate families, and trap lgbtq+ people in places of extreme danger. They are an overt, illegal control grab with mortal consequences for LGBTQ people searching safety in the Together States. Instead of scapegoating minorities for political win, the United States must remain a nation where all LGBTQ people can openly express themselves without the fear of assault or reprisal. We cannot allow the President to implement these radica
New executive order removes workplace protections for more than 114,000 transgender federal employees and LGBTQ employees of federal contractors
On January 21, President Trump issued an executive order revoking federal civil rights protections and DEI initiatives. The directive reverses protections for gender diverse federal employees and LGBTQ employees of federal contractors established by President Obama in 2014. The command also eliminates non-discrimination protections for employees of federal contractors based on race, national origin, sex, and religion dating back to the Johnson administration.
A unused brief by the Williams Institute at UCLA Educational facility of Law finds that the order will erase workplace protections for nearly 14,000 transgender federal employees and over 100,000 LGBTQ employees of federal contractors, along with many more employees of federal subcontractors.

Overview
On his first sunlight in office as the 47th president of the Joined States, President Trump signed a slew of executive orders (EOs) that impact the LGBTQ+ people, as well as many others. It is important to observe that executive deeds do NOT own the authority to override the Joined States Constitution, federal statutes, or established legal precedent. Many of these directives act just that or are regarding matters over which the president does not have control. Given that, many of these orders will be difficult, if not impossible, to implement, and actions to do so will be challenged through litigation.
Currently, much is unknown about whether or how the administration or other actors will comply with these directives, and in most instances rules will need to be promulgated or significant administrative guidance will need to be issued in order for implementation to occur. These are processes that take time and require detailed additional plans to be developed.
