Megan Messerly:

Yes, it really talks quite a bit about gender identity. So one of the big things it talks about is, you know, rescinding health care protections for sexual orientation gender identity, which were issued by the Biden administration. And it uses this language to, you know, quote, protect minors from gender mutilation. We see that reflected very clearly in an executive order that really focuses on, you know, transgender health care, using that similar language of chemical and surgical mutilation. Really paralleling Project 2025 there and also specifically referring to that Biden administration guidance on sexual orientation and gender identity and rolling it back.

And then another example that comes to mind is Project 2025 really calls for, you know, defining sex to mean biological sex recognized at birth. And the president very early on issued an executive order, you know, stating it's U.S. policy to recognize, you know, two sexes, male and female. And we've really seen that already have, you know, ripple effects across the federal government.
