| Description | On his first day in office, President Trump issued an executive order to "defend women", the order creates only male and female terms. Also stated in the terms, federal funding will not go towards (i) changes to agency documents, including regulations, guidance, forms, and communications, made to comply with this order; and (ii) agency-imposed requirements on federally funded entities, including contractors, to achieve the policy of this order. This order includes any federally funded agencies, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles, which would be under the Department of Transportation. On November 6th 2025, the US Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to continue enacting the policy after a lower court judge in Massachusetts blocked its enforcement in June that year. |
