Oklahomans for Equality Statement on Trump's Executive Order Defining Gender:
Oklahomans for Equality unequivocally condemns any efforts to roll back protections for transgender, gender diverse, and two-spirit individuals in our community. Access to accurate government documentation that reflects a person’s gender identity is critical for safety and dignity. Attempts to narrowly define sex as exclusively male or female at the federal level will not erase the existence or resilience of transgender people. Biological diversity naturally includes a broad spectrum of variations in primary and secondary sex characteristics, hormones, and chromosomes. Every major medical organization recognizes that sex and gender exist on a spectrum, and gender-affirming care remains the gold standard for supporting gender-diverse individuals. Despite any actions taken by the Trump administration to undermine progress, two-spirit and transgender ​individuals in Oklahoma, tribal nations, and across the United States will persist. Oklahomans for Equality is unwavering in our commitment to fight for true equality under the law for all members of the 2SLGBTQIA+.
