The Executive Order "Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism And Restoring Biological Truth To The Federal Government" at https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/ or https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/01/30/2025-02090/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal (more officially) is exceptionally well written. It distinguishes clearly between "sex", a defining biological characteristic of individual mammals, and "gender identity ideology", which is a belief system. It, correctly, doesn't refer to a human being's "gender", because that is not a useful thing to talk about, as it does not really exist; the idea is essentially a category mistake.
