Donald Trump Signs New Executive Order Addressing Transgender Women in Prisons

On January 20, 2025, Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States. Among his first actions was signing controversial executive orders, including one titled “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.”

The order challenges policies on transgender women in prisons, asserting that recognizing genders beyond male and female undermines women’s rights and safety. It redefines how federal institutions address sex and gender issues, igniting national debate.
