President Donald Trump’s rapid enactment of more than 200 executive orders upon his return to the White House has ignited significant debate, especially surrounding one directive with major repercussions for non-binary individuals. Named “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” the order removes the option to select an “X” gender marker on U.S. passports, effectively redefining how the federal government acknowledges gender identity.
This move has sparked renewed discussions about LGBTQ+ rights in the U.S., drawing sharp criticism from activists and legal experts while garnering support from advocates of traditional policies.
