The White House has reiterated the United States government’s policy of recognising only two sexes, male and female, under President Donald Trump’s administration.
The administration restated its position in a post on its official X account on Saturday, declaring that “it is the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male & female.”
The statement reinforces an executive order signed by Trump on January 20, 2025, titled Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.
Under the order, Trump directed the Federal Government to recognise two sexes, male and female, defining sex as an individual’s biological classification rather than gender identity.
The directive also instructed federal agencies to align their policies, regulations, official communications and forms with the administration’s position.
Among other measures, government agencies were directed to ensure that official forms requiring individuals to indicate their sex provide only male and female options.
The policy marked a reversal of several measures introduced under former President Joe Biden, whose administration had recognised gender identity in different areas of federal government policy.
Trump has consistently maintained that his administration would recognise only male and female, excluding transgender, non-binary and genderqueer identities from its federal policy framework.
The issue remains a subject of political and social debate in the United States.
