Summary

This order directs the federal government to recognize only two sexes—male and female—and sets specific definitions that all federal agencies must use. Agencies must apply those definitions in laws, forms, communications, and programs, remove policies the order describes as promoting gender ideology, and ensure government IDs and personnel records reflect sex as defined here.

People affected include women and girls, men and boys, federal employees, prisoners, shelter users, schools, and recipients of federal grants. The order aims to protect single-sex spaces and stop federal support for policies it says erase biological sex.
