Fox News: Riley Gaines featured in Trump HHS website that builds on 'two sexes' executive order
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued guidance to implement sex-based definitions across the federal government, following President Trump's executive order aimed at "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism." This includes policies to protect children from gender-related medical procedures and to ensure women's sports are reserved for biological females.
The new HHS approach emphasizes biological classifications, defining "sex" as immutable and establishing clear distinctions between male and female. This shift marks a departure from the previous administration's focus on reproductive rights, with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. asserting a return to "biological truth." Legal challenges to these policies are anticipated from progressive and LGBT advocacy groups.
