President-elect Donald Trump announced that under his administration, "it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male and female." Speaking at an event in Arizona, Trump pledged to "stop the transgender lunacy" on his first day in office. He stated he would sign executive orders on day one to end practices he referred to as "child sexual mutilation," remove transgender individuals from the military, and eliminate transgender presence from elementary, middle, and high schools. Trump also emphasized plans to prevent men from participating in women's sports. His remarks indicate a significant policy shift regarding transgender rights and LGBTQ+ issues in the United States.
