A new policy proposed by the Trump administration will force organizations receiving federal financial assistance to stop acknowledging that trans people exist or risk losing federal funding.
In the new policy proposal, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) claims to be targeting "wasteful spending," and that includes "ending government sponsorship of gender ideology and other radical doctrines the previous administration sought to impose across the country through Federal funding programs." They later claim that "ending government-sponsored promotion of divisive gender ideology is critical to scientific inquiry, public safety, and trust in government."
OMB's proposed policy is building on the work of Donald Trump's executive orders that have targeted diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, "gender ideology" (the term they use for trans identities as a way to dismiss it as a political viewpoint rather than a part of natural existence), and more.
Those executive orders carried little legal weight and have been challenged in court when used to justify limiting federal funding to organizations. However, this new policy, as a written and eventually enacted plan from a major government office, will give Trump's administration more control over federal grants to ensure they "demonstrably advance the President's policy priorities."
Under the new proposal, organizations would have to remove any references to trans, nonbinary, or gender-diverse people. Under the proposed policy, federal funds could not be used to "fund, promote, encourage, subsidize, or facilitate" many things, including "Gender ideology [which] includes theories or ideologies that deny the biological reality of sex or the sex binary in humans, or endorse or advocate for the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic."
