President-elect Donald Trump on Monday plans to sign executive orders proclaiming that the U.S. government will recognize only two sexes, male and female, and ending radical and wasteful diversity, equity and inclusion programs inside federal agencies, according to senior White House officials.
The officials grouped both orders under the incoming Trump administrations wider restoring sanity agenda. The orders were detailed by an incoming official on a phone call Monday ahead of Trumps swearing-in. The official presented the gender order as part of a policy defending women from gender ideology extremism and restoring biological truth to the federal government.
The order aims to require that the federal government use the term sex instead of gender, and directs the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security to ensure that official government documents, including passports and visas, reflect sex accurately.
The order will also prevent taxpayer funds from being used for gender-transition health care and add privacy in intimate spaces in facilities such as prisons, migrant shelters and rape shelters.

(301 posts)What happens to children like them today? When their second child was born, my friend's doctor said "it's a boy"; then said "it's a girl". The poor child had to have numerous surgeries in her early years. We babysat her for a weekend when she and her husband, a football coach, went to an away game. The little girl had to take so many pills a day that helped monitor her growth. Such things are so complicated. How can politicians have the right to control people's bodies and determine what is right or wrong when it comes to the sex of a child? This all breaks my heart.

It's meant to (1) appeal to the biblethumpers and (2) be cruel to a minority.
I hope the children grew up well.
