We, the undersigned, urge Congress and state attorneys general to immediately seek an injunction against the executive order titled “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.” This order directly conflicts with the Supreme Court’s ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County (2020), which protects gender identity under federal anti-discrimination laws.

This executive order mandates that federal agencies, including the Department of Defense (DoD), define sex strictly as male or female based on characteristics at conception. This definition is legally impractical, scientifically inaccurate, and biologically unsound. It does not align with established principles of reproductive biology, fails to account for natural biological variations, and lacks a feasible method of legal determination.

This erases existing legal protections for transgender individuals, endangers military personnel and federal employees, and risks irreversible harm to employment records, benefits, and personal rights.

Why This Executive Order Must Be Halted Immediately:

1. It Violates Supreme Court Precedent
   • Bostock ruled that gender identity discrimination is a form of sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
   • The executive branch cannot override settled Supreme Court precedent.
2.  It Creates Immediate Safety Risks
   • Forcing individuals to use facilities based on birth sex rather than gender identity places them at higher risk of harassment, assault, and psychological harm.
   • This order jeopardizes federal and military workplace safety, retention, and individual and national security.
3.  It Will Cause Irreversible Administrative and Legal Harm
   • Personnel records, medical benefits and records, identification documents, and employment protections may be changed without consent.
   • These changes cannot easily be reversed, even if the courts later strike down the order.

What We Are Asking:

✔ Congress and state attorneys general must seek an immediate injunction to stop the enforcement of this executive order.

✔ Congress must hold hearings to assess the order’s impact on military readiness, federal employment, and civil rights.

✔ Legislation should be introduced to permanently protect gender identity rights under federal law, ensuring agencies follow Bostock v. Clayton County.

✔ Federal agencies must uphold Supreme Court precedent and protect at-risk individuals from legal and physical harm.

This is not a political issue—it is an issue of safety, legal consistency, fundamental rights, and national security. We call on our elected leaders to act now to prevent irreparable harm to Americans affected by this order.
