President Donald Trump has issued a series of executive orders since returning to office earlier this week.
One of these orders introduces major changes to federal policies, particularly impacting non-binary individuals seeking passports that reflect their gender identity. This move, part of Trump’s broader agenda since his return to the White House, has raised significant concerns among LGBTQ+ advocates and civil rights groups.
After resuming office earlier this week, Trump quickly began implementing his plans. Within hours of his inauguration, he signed over 200 executive orders addressing issues such as employment, climate policy, and immigration. Among the most controversial is an order titled “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” which has drawn criticism for its implications on gender rights and federal recognition of diverse identities.
