On his inauguration day, US President Trump announced that the US federal government will only recognize two fixed genders: male and female, canceling protections for non-binary and transgender individuals, and terminating the 'Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)' initiative promoted by the Biden administration. Trump signed nearly 100 executive orders on his first day in office, one of which declares an end to the policy on gender diversity, sparking controversy within the community. He stated that the US federal government will only recognize two fixed and unchangeable biological genders: male and female, effectively denying the existence of gender diversity. Trump's termination of gender diversity and recognition of only male and female genders was mentioned in his inauguration speech, where he stated that he will end the government's attempts to integrate race and gender into various aspects of public and private life and create a society blind to skin color and based on abilities. As of today, the official policy of the US government will only recognize two genders: male and female. According to the order, the definition of male and female will be based on whether a person has ovaries or sperm, rather than chromosomes. In the future, federal prisons and shelters will be segregated based on the gender defined by this order. In addition, federal funding will not be used to subsidize 'gender transition services,' such as gender confirmation (reset) surgery and transgender hormone therapy. This executive order, which touches on highly divisive gender and racial issues in American society, has sparked intense debate and a strong rebound from civil rights groups and the LGBTQ community. Trump shut down the government's DEI office and initiative. According to the Associated Press, Trump will also sign executive orders canceling protections for transgender individuals and terminating the 'Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)' initiative promoted by the Biden administration, which he referred to as an 'illegal and immoral discrimination plan.' On his first day in office, Trump also started to repeal nearly 80 executive orders issued by the Biden administration, including at least 12 measures supporting marginalized communities and racial equality, as well as measures to combat discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation. Fox News reported earlier today that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has notified government agencies and department heads that they must take measures to close all DEI offices and allow government employees in these offices to take paid leave by the end of Wednesday. The agency will take action based on the executive order to close/terminate all DEI initiatives, offices, and programs. Trump's move to end the DEI initiative could mean that the controversial DEI awakening wave in recent years, which has faced a backlash from conservative forces, will significantly recede, and the anti-DEI wave will surge even more. Since Trump's election, large companies such as Walmart, Meta, Amazon, McDonald's, and Boeing have been scaling back their DEI initiatives. In the future, there may be significant changes in the game and film industry, which have designed characters and appearances to be more 'politically correct' to cater to the DEI trend. This change is likely to be supported by the majority of players and viewers. This is expected to have a profound impact on emerging industries such as cryptocurrency. In the past, many cryptocurrency projects have set up DEI-related positions or catered to the demands of funders through a multicultural approach in order to attract venture capital. However, with the rise of the anti-DEI movement led by Trump and Musk, the fundraising environment and corporate culture may undergo a new round of adjustments and reshaping. Startups may focus more on products and markets rather than meeting investors' DEI requirements, and companies may reduce their investment in diversity and social responsibility, instead emphasizing investment decisions based on economic returns and legal compliance.
