Some people’s passports will be impacted by one of the executive orders that Donald Trump signed recently.
Since his historic return to the White House earlier this week, Trump has been in the news. He signed a number of executive orders almost immediately after entering the White House.
Trump signed more than 200 directives on Monday, January 20, according to BBC News.
According to the news agency, an executive order is a written directive from the president to the federal government that is not subject to congressional approval.
Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government’ is one of the executive orders that the 78-year-old signed.
The notion that there are only two genders—male and female—is one of the major adjustments the measure introduces. Transgender women will no longer be held in female jails in light of this.
The order will also impact the passports of non-binary individuals.
The Biden Administration allowed those who wanted to list ‘X’ as their gender on their passports to do so, and 1.2 million Americans identified as non-binary, according to a 2021 study.
When the first X gender passport was granted in October 2021, envoy Jessica Stern praised it as a “momentous step.”
“The addition of a third gender marker propels the US forward toward ensuring that our administrative systems account for the diversity of gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics among US citizens,” she told Sky News.
