    Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government

    “Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female.

    Each agency and all Federal employees shall enforce laws governing sex-based rights, protections, opportunities, and accommodations to protect men and women as biologically distinct sexes.

    The Secretaries of State and Homeland Security, and the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, shall implement changes to require that government-issued identification documents, including passports, visas, and Global Entry cards, accurately reflect the holder’s sex

    The Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security shall ensure that males are not detained in women’s prisons or housed in women’s detention centers

    The Attorney General shall ensure that the Bureau of Prisons revises its policies concerning medical care to be consistent with this order, and shall ensure that no Federal funds are expended for any medical procedure, treatment, or drug for the purpose of conforming an inmate’s appearance to that of the opposite sex.

    Agencies shall effectuate this policy by taking appropriate action to ensure that intimate spaces designated for women, girls, or females (or for men, boys, or males) are designated by sex and not identity.

    agency-imposed requirements on federally funded entities, including contractors, to achieve the policy of this order.

      I hope all the right wing shitheads feel good about this when they’re dying because they can’t afford healthcare or rent

          True. Marginalized groups always get it worse unfortunately. And for what? The right wing shitheads don’t even get anything in return. They are morons and will also get screwed over by their own stupidity and bigotry, but I don’t care what happens to them and honestly they deserve it. Stupidity and bigotry aren’t excuses for bad decisions.

      Sec. 6. Bill Text. Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Assistant to the President for Legislative Affairs shall present to the President proposed bill text to codify the definitions in this order.

      Sec. 7. Agency Implementation and Reporting. (a) Within 120 days of the date of this order, each agency head shall submit an update on implementation of this order to the President, through the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. That update shall address:

      (i) changes to agency documents, including regulations, guidance, forms, and communications, made to comply with this order; and

      (ii) agency-imposed requirements on federally funded entities, including contractors, to achieve the policy of this order.

      Does this mean I still have time to apply for a passport or am I fucked? All of my other identifying documents are in order.

        If anyone came back to check for an answer to this, there kind of isn’t one.

        A very professional and dedicated man answered my call to the state department for clarification on the new policies and he said this: “We don’t know and we don’t know when we will know. Follow your gut and do what you think is right, the worst that can happen is that the application gets rejected”

      Bit idea: invasive tests on cis people to make sure we have the “immutable” characteristics to match our gender. It’d be really funny if this EO caused an explosion in the number of intersex people recognized by the government.

      • omenmis [she/her]English

        this has already happened w sports and was deeply traumatic for many intersex women involved

          I’m trying to think of ways we inconvenience the chuds without harming anyone else.

          :doomer:

          Maybe we just do the tests on cis people and don’t tell them the results?

        Enforcing the use of only M and F, and only using the word ‘sex’, not gender. The X gender marker will probably stop happening.

        Trans people will also be excluded from some spaces.

          It reads to me like gender changes on federal documents are banned, and trans women will be forced into men’s prison as well.

            Looks like those are the primary points, yes. But it doesn’t say anything about not allowing changes… Maybe that’s an oversight that gets amended later? Seems like they’re going real hard at trans prisoners and forcing them to detransition.

            Hopefully the legality of that will be challenged… But I feel like they’ve set it up as a trap to have SCOTUS declare us illegal.

              “Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female.

              require that government-issued identification documents, including passports, visas, and Global Entry cards, accurately reflect the holder’s sex

              This is what I was looking at. If sex is immutable I don’t see how you would be allowed to change it (and have it be “accurately represented”).

              Can’t wait for that ruling yea

              The phrasing in (2)(a) appears to ban changes by defining sex as immutable

              “Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female. “Sex” is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of “gender identity.”

                Then what happens to people that have already had legal sex change? Some people have gotten nearly every document changed, including birth certificates.

                  That’s for the courts to decide. “Immutable” seems very clear in this context and I doubt any court will shut this down because it isn’t overstepping executive power or breaking precedent.

                  Iirc Kansas started forcing people to change things back (e.g. if you needed a driver’s license renewal)

                  made me realize I probably shouldn’t go through the effort of changing since 1) they would have a record of that change 2) they will probably just change it back or some shit
