Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Health Secretary, reaffirmed the Trump administration’s commitment to recognizing only two sexes, citing “biological truth” as the foundation for federal policy.
The administration issued official sex-based definitions, categorizing male and female based on reproductive function.
Kennedy stated that the move restores “common sense” and removes “gender ideology” from public policy.
The Health and Human Services Department launched a new webpage emphasizing women’s health and safety, featuring conservative activist Riley Gaines.
The administration claims that distinguishing biological sex is essential for protecting women’s spaces, sports, and scientific integrity.
Opponents argue that the policy ignores medical consensus on gender diversity and intersex individuals.
Kennedy, once a Democrat, now aligns with Trump’s stance on transgender rights, advocating for a ban on gender-affirming care for minors.
