The effect of Trump's executive order on gender identity and transgender rights.

President Trump signed an order about gender. It says there are only two genders: male and female. This order might change many things for transgender people in the US.

The order says that gender is based on what reproductive cells a person has. Scientists say this is wrong because those cells don't develop until later.

The order wants to change passports and other documents to match this new rule. People might not be able to choose 'X' as their gender on passports anymore.

The order also affects transgender people in prisons. It says transgender women should be housed in men's prisons and might not get medical care.

This order might also change healthcare for transgender people. Some people are worried that they will lose access to important medical care because of this order.
