The Abomination of This Order: A Manifesto for State-Enforced Discrimination
This executive order is not just a policy shift — it is a declaration of war against the rights of transgender people and the fundamental principles of human dignity. Wrapped in the language of “biological truth” and “women’s rights,” it is, in reality, a full-scale rollback of decades of progress in civil rights, equality, and legal protections.
It is an abomination not because of its cruelty alone, but because of its purpose: to codify bigotry into law, to erase people from public life, and to make discrimination an official function of the federal government.
1. The Language of Oppression Disguised as “Truth”
The order constructs an entire legal framework around redefining sex and gender in the narrowest, most rigid, and most oppressive terms possible.
- “Sex” is explicitly redefined as immutable at birth, rejecting scientific and medical consensus.
- “Gender identity” is described as an “ideology,” dismissing the lived realities of millions as delusion.
- The entire order frames trans existence as an attack on women, a classic authoritarian tactic — creating false enemies to justify oppression.
This is not about policy. It is about declaring an entire group of people illegitimate under the law.
2. Systematic Erasure and the Rewriting of Legal Reality
This order does not just ban protections — it actively rewrites federal law to make discrimination mandatory.
✔ Revokes all trans-inclusive federal policies.
✔ Eliminates legal recognition of transgender people entirely.
✔ Mandates that all federal documents, IDs, and records erase gender identity.
✔ Forces agencies to rewrite all anti-discrimination policies to exclude trans people.
This is not a “return to normal.” This is an erasure campaign. It is a direct attempt to render trans people legally nonexistent.
3. The Weaponization of the State Against Its Own People
Beyond legal erasure, the order deploys the machinery of the federal government to punish and silence dissent:
- Stripping funding from any institution that acknowledges transgender people exist.
- Forcing schools, shelters, and workplaces to comply with discriminatory policies.
- Targeting medical care, cutting off access to gender-affirming healthcare for prisoners and likely setting the stage for broader bans.
- Eliminating protections for trans students, ensuring they are legally abandoned in schools.
This is not just a rollback — it is a purge. The goal is not just to remove rights, but to eliminate trans people from public life entirely.
4. The Fascist Playbook in Action
Every authoritarian movement in history follows the same pattern:
🔹 Identify a group to scapegoat (in this case, trans people).
🔹 Frame their existence as a “threat” to society (see: “gender ideology extremism”).
🔹 Revoke their legal protections and redefine them as outsiders.
🔹 Encourage and legitimize state-sponsored discrimination against them.
🔹 Silence opposition through institutional control.
This executive order checks every single box. It is not about protecting women. It is about establishing a legal precedent for government-backed discrimination.
Today, it’s trans people. Tomorrow, it will be someone else.
5. The Only Response: Total Resistance
This order must not stand.
It cannot be met with just outrage or hand-wringing. It must be met with organized, unrelenting resistance at every level:
- States must refuse to comply.
- Workers must refuse to enforce it.
- Organizations must defy it openly and proudly.
- Legal challenges must flood the courts.
- The people must make it clear — any politician, agency, or company that enforces this will face consequences.
The goal of this order is fear. Its purpose is to make people feel hopeless, to make them feel alone, to make them believe resistance is futile.
That is the lie that all authoritarians sell.
And it is the lie that must be shattered.
Final Word: This Cannot Be Allowed to Stand
This is not just a policy debate. This is a defining moment.
A government that openly declares an entire class of people to be illegitimate under the law is a government that has abandoned democracy and embraced tyranny.
This order is an abomination — not just for what it does to transgender people, but for what it signals about the future of the United States.
It is a test.
The only question is: Will the people pass it?
