And I think what it means for practical purposes is that he is intending to use the federal government to ensure we eradicate a toxic ideology that has wreaked havoc on Americans, both in terms of safety, opportunities and freedom.
The Trump administration has issued a number of executive orders that deal with gender identity as well as censorship and DEI in the federal government. And all of those come together to essentially restore the legal and scientifically sound definition of sex in federal law, meaning that we are created male and female and that sex is neither chosen nor changed.
And that will have tremendous implications, both on women's rights with regard to sports, fairness, privacy, locker rooms, also what our children are being taught, and in numerous other areas.
Well, at Alliance Defending Freedom, we have represented scores of female athletes that have been deprived not only of fairness on the athletic field, but also privacy in locker rooms, in dorm rooms, in showers, and safety. We also have represented students who have been deprived of free speech and counselors and teachers who have been compelled to use pronouns
that don't reflect biological truth. We have represented parents who have been deprived of decision-making authority for kids and teachers deprived of conscience rights. And we've even seen schools that have been deprived of certain funding mechanisms because of this ideology.
President Trump has issued an order telling the agencies in the executive branch that they must stop infusing all of these areas of federal law with this notion that we are created something other than male or female.
I guarantee you, you'll see states like California, New York, Washington state try to undermine these executive orders. And because of the way that our system of government is set out, there will be bad states that will continue to try to undermine the rights of American citizens. And there will be litigation that continues. But the difference here is they can no longer say
that federal law requires this in terms of the agency action. And now the power of the federal government in all of the places that it shows up is actually on the opposite side of this fight.
And in addition, the Trump administration can go a step further and it can deprive institutions as well as state governments of federal funding when they refuse to recognize biological reality and common sense.
It should do so assuming that the administrative agencies are putting teeth in these actions. So again, the way that the government works is the executive branch, the president, sets the agenda and tells the agencies what to do. And it's the agencies then that create the guidance and enforce what the president has said in federal law. So it will be critical that the agencies
follow this direction and put real teeth into this by denying federal funding and by going after those states and those educational institutions that are not honoring the rights of Americans in this area.
We are seeing progress, but there still is an uphill battle. My hope is that we're turning the corner on this issue. We've been fighting it for over 10 years now with regard to bathrooms, locker rooms, and more recently, eight or so years on the sports front.
I think we're turning the page, but again, we have half of the states that have adopted laws to protect women and girls in sports as an example, and these are state laws. those are being challenged and argued that they are unconstitutional. So those cases will continue, but we will continue now to have the federal government on the side of women and girls rather than against us.
I also think we can't possibly underestimate the importance of the federal government saying there are two sexes and that you cannot choose nor change biological reality, because that will play out in many different ways across the government. And it will stop the social engineering that we've been seeing that's happening through the power of the federal government.
The executive order that President Trump issued on DEI is so critical because it removes DEI from federal government policies. And he was right to do so because DEI essentially is an attempt to socially engineer gender ideology and race into every facet of American life.
And the very first step to take that back and to, as President Trump said, have a revolution of common sense is to, again, rid the government of DEI programs because it's a proven failure. It introduces risk, legal risk. It eliminates people advancing on the basis of merit. And it destroys unity, which President Trump has said is a high priority for him.
they've been profoundly impactful i would say that law and culture work together you can't have one without the other and one doesn't necessarily lead the other but they both impact one another and so i would just say especially the work that the daily wire has done has been so critical in our efforts as an example on the gender identity front because the principle that you're establishing in the court before the supreme court or
a principle you're establishing in a state or a federal law, it has to be plausible to the American people. It has to make sense to them. And Daily Wire, for example, has been one of the first that has come out and spoken clearly, succinctly, and without fear, with courage, on the importance of biological reality. When the law doesn't recognize the biological differences between men and women,
Families get hurt. And most importantly, women and girls will suffer not only from equal opportunities, but they will lose their rights.
I think of all of the priorities that he set out, they come back to one primary theme, which I would say is he's recognizing the stifling authoritarianism that we've seen at home. here in the United States and that we're witnessing abroad.
