Kennedy Jr. announced Wednesday that his department had issued new \u201cguidance on sex-based definitions\u201d aimed, in part, at keeping transgender women and girls out of female sports and fulfilling President Trump\u2019s pledge that the federal government will recognize only two sexes: male and female.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis administration is bringing back common sense and restoring biological truth to the federal government,\u201d Mr. Kennedy said in a statement. \u201cThe prior administration\u2019s policy of trying to engineer gender ideology into every aspect of public life is over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As part of the initiative, the Health and Human Services Department has launched a new <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/womenshealth.gov\/protecting-women-and-children\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">web page<\/a> for the federal Office on Women\u2019s Health. The page, entitled \u201cProtecting Women and Children,\u201d features a video with Riley Gaines, the former University of Kentucky all-American swimmer who says she was put at a competitive disadvantage when competing against a transgender woman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The guidance offers detailed definitions for the words \u201cmale\u201d \u2014 \u201ca person of the sex characterized by a reproductive system with the biological function of producing sperm\u201d \u2014 and \u201cfemale\u201d \u2014 \u201ca person of the sex characterized by a reproductive system with the biological function of producing eggs (ova).\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The announcement came in response to an executive order Mr. Trump issued on Jan. 20 that gave the health department 30 days to issue \u201cclear guidance\u201d to the public on how to interpret sex-based definitions. \u201cThese sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality,\u201d the order declared.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Tuesday, Mr. Kennedy <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/18\/us\/politics\/rfk-speaks-hhs.html\" title=\"\">delivered a welcome address<\/a> to department employees in which he said his agency would work toward helping Americans \u201cto discover our own paths to living our fullest lives, unleashing the potential in every one of us to make good personal choices that allow us to nourish, to heal and to develop ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There are roughly 1.6 million youths and adults in the United States who identify as transgender, according to an <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu\/publications\/trans-adults-united-states\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">estimate by the Williams Institute<\/a> at the U.C.L.A. School of Law. Mr. Trump\u2019s predecessor, President Joseph R. Biden Jr., made protecting transgender people a cornerstone of federal policy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Biden\u2019s assistant secretary for health, Dr. Rachel Levine, a pediatrician, made history by becoming the first transgender person to be confirmed by the Senate to a federal position.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump has rapidly reversed Biden administration policies. He has followed up his Jan. 20 executive order with a string of others aimed at stripping away the rights of transgender people in almost every corner of American life \u2014 including schools, hospitals, prisons, the military and housing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Critics have objected not only to the substance of the orders, but to their <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/11\/us\/transgender-trump-executive-orders.html\" title=\"\">harsh language.<\/a> The order barring taxpayer dollars from financing medical interventions for transgender children is headlined \u201cProtecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Government agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is under the health department, were ordered to delete any language mentioning \u201cgender ideology\u201d from their websites. A judge has since ordered the C.D.C.\u2019s page restored.
