Trump officials also signaled that the Biden administration's decision to offer an "X" gender passport option would be rescinded, telling reporters, "the Secretary of State, Homeland Security and all other agencies are going to ensure that official government documents, including passports and visas, reflect sex accurately." 

Other aspects of the order would include making sure taxpayer funds do not go toward gender-transition surgeries and stripping Biden administration guidance on preferred pronoun use in schools.

The other order mentioned would roll back diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives by the federal government.

Signaling his intent to waste no time after being sworn in, Trump aides have already briefed both members of Congress and members of the media on what many of those orders will entail.

On a separate press call held on Monday, Trump officials said he would sign executive actions ending birthright citizenship and renaming the "Gulf of Mexico" as the "Gulf of America."
