Trump to Stop Transgender Lunacy, Recognize Only Two Genders with Executive Orders on First Day

Dec 23, 2024, 04:43 AM

President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to implement policies on his first day in office aimed at reversing current transgender rights. He stated that under his administration, the official policy of the United States government will recognize only two genders: male and female. Trump emphasized his intention to sign executive orders to 'stop the transgender lunacy,' which includes removing transgender individuals from the military and educational institutions, as well as prohibiting men from participating in women's sports. These declarations reflect a broader Republican agenda against LGBTQ rights, coinciding with their control over both chambers of Congress and the presidency.
