Trump Declares Only Two Genders, Bans Transgender Athletes in Women's Sports
Jan 23, 2025, 04:17 PM
President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders on his first day in office declaring that the U.S. government recognizes only two genders, male and female, reversing previous policies on LGBTQ+ rights established under the Biden administration. The orders instruct federal agencies to 'cease pretending that men can be women and women can be men' and prohibit the use of government funds for 'gender ideology.' In his inauguration speech and remarks at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump stated, 'I've made it the official policy of the United States that there are only two genders, male and female. We will have no men participating in women's sports.' He further indicated that 'transgender operations, which became the rage, will occur very rarely.' The policies are expected to face legal challenges, as they conflict with recent Supreme Court rulings that protect LGBTQ+ individuals from discrimination.
