Trump Signs Executive Order Defining Sex as Binary

On his first day back in office, President Trump signed an executive order titled 'Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government', declaring that the US government would recognise only two sexes, male and female, as determined at conception.
