"The proposed rule is intended to 'harmonize' existing Equal Access regulations with President Trump's Executive Order 14168, which emphasizes recognition of only two sexes based on biology."
"The September 2016 rule mandated that transgender individuals be allowed access to single-sex facilities that align with their gender identity, prohibiting intrusive questioning about their identity."
The Department of Housing and Urban Development proposed a rule to revoke federal housing protections based on gender identity and sexual orientation. This change mandates that federally funded temporary and emergency shelters must house transgender individuals according to their sex assigned at birth. The proposal aims to align with President Trump's Executive Order 14168, which recognizes only two biological sexes. This rule reverses the 2016 Equal Access regulation that allowed transgender individuals access to facilities matching their gender identity without invasive questioning.
