President Trump issued an executive order limiting gender definitions on his first day in office.

Medical and legal experts say the executive order rejects the reality of sexual and gender diversity.

They are concerned about the implications it will have for intersex, nonbinary and transgender Americans .

The order states that the U.S. government would only recognize a person's sex assigned at birth.

Trump also implemented policies or took positions that adversely affected the LGBTQ community in his first term.

He banned some transgender people from serving in the military, repealed Obama-era non-discrimination health care policy.

"We'll continue to stand with Dana and all intersex, nonbinary, and transgender people to defend their right to identity documents," group says.
