On January 20, 2021, newly minted President Joe Biden signed an executive order on "Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation." He tasked every federal agency under his power, a substantial number of agencies, to within 100 days of the order, provide to him evidence of their compliance with it. The program was to implement as many trans "inclusive" programs under each agency as possible. On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump should reverse this order and every bastardized policy that agency DEI officers came up with.

The order read as an issuance of compassion, but that compassion and empathy hid very sinister goals underneath it. "Every person should be treated with respect and dignity and should be able to live without fear," it said, "no matter who they are or whom they love." The words "who they are" were a dead giveaway of the true intent of the bill, as was the following sentence. "Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether or not they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports." Again with the empathy, but for whom? Not for women and girls, but for the high-school and university-aged men who claim to "identify" as women, and in the lower grades, for the parents who have allowed the whims of their children to dictate their social and medical treatment for the rest of their lives. The order enshrined protections for trans adults, as well, even though there were no rights that trans people didn't have. 

What the order did in practice was to strip women of rights they had fought for, which had resulted in Title IX of the Civil Rights Act in the first place. Title IX prohibits "sex discrimination" in all education programs and activities that receive federal funding. But what the order did was revise the term "sex discrimination" by changing the definition of "sex" retroactively. And it did it with the help of the Supreme Court's Bostock ruling, which said that it was discriminatory "on the basis on sex" to make male employees not wear dresses to work and not use women's bathroom facilities. Bostock meant that employers could be sued for discrimination if they only allowed women, and not men who said they were women, to use the women's bathroom or dress in women's clothes. Biden's order leaned into this, and made every federal agency lean into it as well.

For the Department of Agriculture, this meant stripping school lunch aid from school districts that did not allow boys to use girls' bathrooms or play on girls' sports teams. For Health and Human Services, it meant requiring insurance companies under the ACA to cover sex change surgeries and drugs for both adults and minors and making sure that doctors did not reveal any gender identity information to parents unless the patient said it was okay. They also instructed child welfare agencies to provide "gender affirming care," i.e. sex changes, for the minors in their care. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said employers could not discriminate on the basis of gender identity, meaning that employers must allow men to use women's facilities if the men said they were women.

The Department of Education went nuts, rewriting Title IX and trying to federally force schools to allow boys to play on girls' sports teams or lose federal funding. The Department of Defense implemented a policy where the US Armed Forces would pay for a soldier's sex change. Housing and Urban Development said that males who identify as women have equal access to women's shelters and other programs designated for women. The Department of Justice launched lawsuits against states that prohibited the medical sex change of minors or prohibited boys from playing in girls' athletic events. ICE implemented "gender neutral" language for illegal immigrants who are also "pregnant persons." Medicare and Medicaid funneled tax-payer dollars into "gender affirming care," i.e. sex changes, for those who use that healthcare service. 

The Bureau of Prisons opened up women's federal prisons to men who say they are women, housing violent, male offenders alongside women and allowing them to use the same facilities. The Department of State allowed people to pick their own gender identity on their passports, instead of making people select male or female, they allowed them to pick "X," meaning no gender. The Department of Homeland Security implemented new practices so that LGBTQIA+ illegal immigrants wouldn't be "misgendered" by border agents. Many agencies, such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, issued their directives that the definition of discrimination includes discrimination against people on the basis of their gender identity. Even Congress changed the language of mother, father, brother, sister, to parent and sibling, all to be more "inclusive" to trans.

All of this must be reversed on January 20, 2025, to the extent that any of these agencies remain intact under a Trump presidency. Many of these programs use the guise of protecting women and children to allow men to run roughshod over women's rights. Other programs boost the medical industrial complex, allowing them to get tax dollars to perform sex changes and give sex change drugs, like puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. Still, other programs remake language to make it nearly impossible to actually talk about women, or what women are, or the fact that only women can get pregnant. 

Trump ran a campaign ad vowing to protect women's sports. He spoke about it frequently and women listened. When Trump said he would protect women, women heard him. In reversing Biden's absurd order, in obliterating it completely in revoking the policies implemented by those agencies Biden demanded comply, Trump would make good on his promise to protect women. And he should do it on day one.
