Trump Vows to Limit Transgender Rights, Recognize Only Male and Female Genders
Donald Trump vows to tackle what he terms “transgender lunacy” in his presidency. He promises to end child “sexual mutilation” and ban transgender people from the military and schools.
Trump made these comments at an event for young conservatives in Phoenix, Arizona. He reiterated his commitment to keeping men out of women’s sports. According to Trump, it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.
Trump’s comments have sparked controversy, with many interpreting them as a threat to the transgender community and their rights. The transgender community fears a rollback of protections and support.
Trump’s stance reflects the complex and divided views on transgender issues among Americans. His comments come amidst ongoing controversy surrounding transgender issues in US politics. Recently, Democratic and Republican-controlled states have been at odds over policies related to medical treatment and the availability of books on transgender topics in public and school libraries.
