Americans deal with government paperwork all the time. Forms for taxes, benefits, licenses, and citizenship require accurate information. Details matter for official documents. They establish legal identity.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) processes millions of these important documents annually. During the Joe Biden administration, certain changes were made to these forms. Progressive policies (the ones that ignored basic biology) influenced even the most basic information collection. Now those policies are being reversed under President Donald Trump’s leadership. Indeed, a significant change is coming to immigration paperwork.
USCIS announced on Wednesday that it will no longer offer a third gender option on its forms. The agency is returning to the recognition of only two biological sexes – male and female. It’s almost like there were only ever two to begin with!
From ‘Fox News’:
“President Trump promised the American people a revolution of common sense, and that includes making sure that the policy of the U.S. government agrees with simple biological reality,” Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
This policy change directly follows an executive order signed by President Trump on his inauguration day. The order’s title makes its purpose crystal clear: “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.”
The change eliminates the “X” gender marker option that was introduced last year. That option had allowed applicants to select something other than male or female when applying for naturalization. Because apparently immigration wasn’t complicated enough already?
Under the restored guidelines, USCIS will determine a person’s sex based on their birth certificate. The agency stated it will consider “a person’s sex as that which is generally evidenced on the birth certificate issued at or nearest to the time of birth.”
Trump’s Promise of Common Sense
This change represents a fulfillment of campaign promises made by President Trump. He vowed to roll back progressive gender policies implemented during the previous administration. And unlike some politicians, he’s actually keeping his word! McLaughlin emphasized that immigration policy is too serious for ideological experimentation.
“Proper management of our immigration system is a matter of national security, not a place to promote and coddle an ideology that permanently harms children and robs real women of their dignity, safety, and well-being,” she stated.
The Biden administration had justified the third gender option as removing “significant barriers” for requestors who didn’t identify with either biological sex. They argued limiting options to two genders created “administrative challenges.” You know what’s an administrative challenge? Ignoring reality. President Trump’s approach returns to the historical understanding of biological sex as an objective reality rather than a subjective feeling or identity. What a refreshing concept!
Protecting Women’s Dignity and Safety
The policy change aligns with broader efforts to protect women’s rights, spaces, and safety. By acknowledging only two biological sexes, the administration reinforces the distinction necessary for women’s protections—you know, actual women with XX chromosomes.
The executive order’s title directly addresses this concern by linking “gender ideology” to threats against women. This reflects the conservative position that biological distinctions matter for privacy, safety, and fairness.
Immigration policies must prioritize clarity and truth, especially when establishing someone’s legal identity. Accurate documentation becomes crucial for security screening, benefits determination, and proper identification. The recognition of only two biological sexes ensures immigration policies remain grounded in objective reality rather than subjective identity claims. Isn’t it about time?
A Return to Biological Truth
For decades, government forms recognized only male and female categories. This reflected both scientific understanding and practical administrative needs. Funny how that worked just fine until the “enlightened” progressives came along.
The policy reversal signals that President Trump’s administration intends to restore traditional frameworks throughout government. It demonstrates a commitment to basing policy on biological reality rather than progressive gender theory.USCIS noted that if a birth certificate indicates a sex other than male or female, they will use secondary evidence to make a determination. This ensures all applications will be processed within the two-category framework.
The change represents a significant departure from the previous administration’s approach to gender issues throughout government agencies. Thank goodness! Trump’s administration continues systematically restoring traditional values to federal policies. By returning to biological truth on immigration forms, the government once again acknowledges reality over ideology. For conservative Americans concerned about progressive overreach, this represents another victory for common sense governance. And really, who can argue with that?
