and Executive order President Trump provides his first day in his position the definition of the new federal government of sex that could have a significant impact on transgender people worldwide.
It calls for the federal government to define sex as males or female only and in order to reflect on official documents such as passports and policies such as federal prison tasks. As for federal spending, it is not clear what he means to pledge to the rating of broader sex on Earth.
Many judgments are likely to be challenged in court.
Here is a look at the arrangement.
Determining males and females on the basis of cells that are not present in pregnancy
the to request It announces that there are only two sexes, males and females. He refuses that people can move from one sex to another or consider something other than males or females such as non -urinary, who describes people who do not know that they are men or women accurately, or intensex.
The situation reflects what many social conservatives called for-and they contradict what the American Medical Association and other prevailing medical groups say: This vast scientific research indicates that sex and sex are better understandable that it is a more than either or definition.
Trump says he aims to protect women’s spaces from those who “get to know themselves” as women.
It defines the sexes in an unconventional way, based on reproductive cells – large cells in females or youngsters in males. It indicates that humans have these cells in pregnancy.
Biologists say this is a problem because egg cells develop after several weeks, and sperm cells are produced in puberty, not in pregnancy.
“At that stage, sexual differentiation has not started,” said Karl Bergstrom, the evolutionary biologist at Washington University. “I cannot see any coherent way logically to explain the definition in this executive, given the addition of the phrase” in pregnancy. “
Bergstrom said that the scientific explanation can determine the chromosomes of sex, but it seems that the executive matter deliberately avoids this, probably to avoid the scope of differences that include Intersex People, who have physical features that do not fit the typical definitions of male or female categories.
What are the parts of the system valid?
The request has been signed, but many of it requires more federal procedures.
“There is nothing valid,” said Heron Greensth, Deputy Director of Policy at the Transit Law Center.
The executive order informs one of the White House employees to formulate a draft law for Congress within 30 days that would record definitions in the law.
Federal agencies should inform the president within 120 days of what they did to comply with this. Some parts may require passing the regulatory process or passing new laws.
Omar Gonzalez Bagan, a legal lawyer in Lamda, said in an invitation with reporters this week that the matter does not change the current law but rather creates “a clear indication and a road map of the place where the policies of this administration lie when it comes to sexually transformed persons.”
The laws of the state related to participating in sports, the use of pigeons, confirmed gender care, and other issues are not affected directly.
What does it mean for federal documents?
The request calls for passports, visas and global entry cards to reflect the definition of sex management.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, responsible for passports, refused to answer questions about the current situation of politics. The arrangement indicates the disposal of the appointment of “X”, which has been available on passports since 2021 after a long legal battle launched by an active between the Indians.
“It is unlikely to be approved by any new request to change the gender mark in a passport.
What about transsexual prison prisoners?
The demand contains specific details about how it is applied in federal prisons, which includes approximately 2,300 transgender guests – about 1.5 % of the total population.
It calls for housing for sexually transgender women-there is more than 1500-in men’s prisons, and to stop the gender medical care.
At least two of the transgender guests underwent surgery to establish the government in recent years as a result of the court’s orders. He received another more treatment, such as hormones.
Sarah and Erbilo, the legal director of the human rights campaign, said that the orders of the court that gives prisoners to reach treatment are still valid, even if the federal policy changes.
The American Civil Liberties Union says it has heard from some defense lawyers that the imprisoned sexual transformer has been transferred to isolation or told them that they will be transferred to men’s prisons.
The prison office did not answer questions about whether the prisoners will be transferred.
Will this medicaid prevent payment for gender care?
The Medicaid program, a health insurance program in federal countries for low -income persons, covers sponsorship of the sexes in some states.
The administration of former President Joe Biden adopted a base to make it do so at the national level. But the judges Put this waiting.
To date, it is not clear what may happen to cover in the countries you have chosen.
The KFF, the KFF, said that eliminating the coverage that is likely to include a long operation – and like others, may face the challenges of the court.
