One of the executive orders recently signed by President Donald Trump is set to bring significant changes to federal policies, particularly affecting non-binary individuals and their ability to obtain passports reflecting their gender identity. This decision, part of Trump’s sweeping initiatives since his return to the White House, has sparked widespread concern among LGBTQ+ advocates and civil rights organizations.

Trump, who resumed office earlier this week, wasted no time implementing his agenda. Within hours of his inauguration, the president signed over 200 executive orders, targeting a wide range of issues including employment, climate change, and immigration. Among the most controversial of these is an order titled “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.”
