Officials said on Monday that the incoming President Trump intends to focus on federal diversity and pro-transgender initiatives as part of his initial executive orders.

Officials told reporters in a phone call that they aim to defend women from gender, ideology, and extremism, and restore biological truth to the federal government.

Officials stated that the U.S. government recognizes only two sexes, male and female, and classifies them based on reproductive function rather than chromosomes.

Officials from the Trump administration have stated that they will rescind the Biden administration's decision to offer an "X" gender passport option. They emphasized that official government documents, including passports and visas, must accurately reflect sex.

The alternative version of the sentence is: The bill aims to prevent taxpayer funds from being used for gender-transition surgeries and to rescind the Biden administration's guidance on preferred pronoun use in schools.

The federal government's DEI initiatives would be rolled back if the other order were implemented.

Officials from the Trump administration are advocating for the elimination of taxpayer funding for diversity initiatives, citing examples such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture's environmental justice program, the Treasury Department's diversity training, and the FAA's diversity recruiting efforts as examples of wasteful spending.

Coordinate with various agencies to terminate all similar programs.

Trump intends to sign over 200 executive orders in his first day as president, with many focusing on culture war matters and border security, two key themes of his presidential campaign.

Trump aides have already briefed Congress and the media on the details of many of his orders.

Officials from the Trump administration announced on a conference call on Monday that the president would sign orders to end birthright citizenship and rename the "Gulf of Mexico" as the "Gulf of America."
