Executive Order 13988 of January 20, 2021

Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. Every person should be treated with respect and dignity and should be able to live without fear, no matter who they are or whom they love. Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports. Adults should be able to earn a living and pursue a vocation knowing that they will not be fired, demoted, or mistreated because of whom they go home to or because how they dress does not conform to sex-based stereotypes. People should be able to access healthcare and secure a roof over their heads without being subjected to sex discrimination. All persons should receive equal treatment under the law, no matter their gender identity or sexual orientation.
These principles are reflected in the Constitution, which promises equal protection of the laws. These principles are also enshrined in our Nations anti-discrimination laws, among them Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended 42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq.. In Bostock v. Clayton County, 590 U.S.l2020, the Supreme Court held that Title VIIs prohibition on discrimination because of . . . sex covers discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation. Under Bostocks reasoning, laws that prohibit sex discriminationincluding Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended 20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., the Fair Housing Act, as amended 42 U.S.C. 3601 et seq., and section 412 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended 8 U.S.C. 1522, along with their respective implementing regulationsprohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation, so long as the laws do not contain sufficient indications to the contrary.
Discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation manifests differently for different individuals, and it often overlaps with other forms of prohibited discrimination, including discrimination on the basis of race or disability. For example, transgender Black Americans face unconscionably high levels of workplace discrimination, homelessness, and violence, including fatal violence.
