The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) took action to support President Trump’s executive orders defending women and children and restoring the concept of biological truth in federal government.
As part of the initiative, HHS released guidance to the U.S. government, external partners, and the public to expand on the clear sex-based definitions in Executive Order 14168 — “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.” The guidance recognizes there are only two sexes: male and female. HHS will use these definitions and promote policies acknowledging that women are biologically female and men are biologically male.
“This administration is bringing back common sense and restoring biological truth to the federal government,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. “The prior administration’s policy of trying to engineer gender ideology into every aspect of public life is over.”
HHS is also taking steps to implement policies protecting children from chemical and surgical mutilation, as directed by President Trump’s Executive Order 14187 and keeping men out of women’s sports as specified in Executive Order 14201.
