The White House has reiterated that the United States government recognizes only two genders—male and female—under President Donald Trump’s administration.
The statement, issued by the White House in Washington, D.C., reaffirms a policy that has been consistently upheld throughout the Trump presidency.
U.S. officials indicated that the binary gender classification remains the official framework for federal programs and data collection, reflecting the administration’s longstanding position on the issue.
The reaffirmation arrives as debates over gender identity and LGBTQ+ rights continue worldwide, with several nations expanding legal recognition beyond the traditional male‑female binary.
No further comment was provided by the White House regarding potential changes to the policy.
