Federal definition of sex and gender

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14168 regarding the U.S. official definitions of sex and gender identity. The Executive Order defines sex as strictly biological and unchangeable. Gender identity is framed as a "subjective sense of self" that should not be considered a replacement for sex.
