The White House has reiterated the United States government\u2019s position that there are only two genders, male and female, under President Donald Trump\u2019s administration.\n<\/p>\n
The White House restated the position in a post shared on its official X account on Saturday, declaring, \u201cIt is the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male & female.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
The statement reinforces Trump\u2019s longstanding position on gender identity and his administration\u2019s policy of recognising biological sex as either male or female in federal government operations.\n<\/p>\n
Trump formalised the position on January 20, 2025, through an executive order titled Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.<\/p>\n
Under Section Two of the order, the President declared that \u201cit is the policy of the United States to recognise two sexes, male and female.\u201d<\/p>\n
The order further defined sex as an individual\u2019s \u201cimmutable biological classification as either male or female,\u201d stating that sex was not synonymous with gender identity.\n<\/p>\n
It also directed federal agencies to adopt the definitions in their interpretation and application of federal laws and government policies.<\/p>\n
Among other measures, the directive required government agencies to remove official statements, policies, regulations and communications considered inconsistent with the administration\u2019s position.\n<\/p>\n
It also directed agencies to ensure that official forms requiring an individual\u2019s sex listed only male or female.\n<\/p>\n
The executive order formed part of Trump\u2019s broader policy to reverse federal government measures introduced under his predecessor, Joe Biden, which recognised gender identity in several areas of government policy.\n<\/p>\n
The White House\u2019s latest statement, according to the post, reiterates the \u201cadministration\u2019s position on an issue that has remained a major subject of political and social debate in the United States.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
In January 2025, when Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, held inside the Capitol Rotunda due to adverse weather conditions.\n<\/p>\n
In his inaugural address, Trump outlined a bold agenda for his administration, touching on issues of gender, race, border control, economic reforms, and energy policies.\n<\/p>\n
