President Trump, in a flurry of orders on his first day in office, has dismantled policies put in place by the Biden administration aimed at preventing sex discrimination and protecting transgender Americans, as well as federal programs promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. These actions seem to defend women against ‘gender ideology extremism’ by reversing ‘efforts to eliminate the biological reality of sex.’ Additionally, they call for the termination of D.E.I. programs and ‘all discriminatory programs’ in government, including federal employment practices. The measures include administrative actions, such as changing government forms to include only two genders, and assertions dismissing the validity of gender identity altogether. These actions effectively shut down programs and practices aimed at reversing decades of systemic inequities and discriminatory practices that disproportionately affected Black people and other underserved communities.
