An HHS website devoted to women's health issues features a new video with women's sports activist Riley Gaines and builds on President Trump's "two sexes" executive order.

"Thank you, President Trump and HHS for courageously defending truth, common sense and women," Gaines said in the video.

"The executive order ‘Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports’ ensures the next generation of girls has a fair opportunity to compete with the safety, privacy and equal opportunity they’re entitled to," Gaines said. "The clarity and decisiveness of the Trump administration sends a strong, clear message to women and girls across the country that we matter."

Other links on the new website include "Defending Women" and "Protecting Children."

According to the guidance, "Sex" refers to a person’s immutable biological classification as either male or female. "Female" is defined as a person with a reproductive system designed to produce eggs, while "Male" refers to a person with a reproductive system designed to produce sperm. "Woman" and "Girl" represent adult and minor human females, respectively, while "Man" and "Boy" refer to adult and minor human males. The terms "Mother" and "Father" denote female and male parents, respectively.

Wednesday's announcement comes as the Trump administration has been seeking to restore "biological truth" to the public sector. The topic of gender was not included in the HHS guidance.

Trump's gender-related executive orders – which include banning biological men from women's sports and transgender people from the military – have sparked legal challenges, with several lawsuits filed by progressive and LGBT advocacy groups arguing that the orders violate civil rights protections for transgender individuals.
