President-elect Donald Trump has made bold statements regarding transgender policies, vowing to implement strict measures against LGBTQ inclusivity on his first day in office. Speaking at the AmericaFest conference in Phoenix, Arizona, Trump outlined his plans to enforce a two-gender policy across America.
Executive Orders and Education Policies
Trump stated he would issue executive orders to eliminate transgender inclusion in the military and public schools. He specifically mentioned targeting elementary, middle, and high schools to remove what he called “transgender lunacy.”
Two-Gender Policy
According to Trump, his administration will adopt an official policy recognizing only two genders—male and female. This policy would influence sports, education, and other public spaces.
Gender-Affirming Procedures
Trump also vowed to end what he described as “child sexual mutilation,” signaling a crackdown on gender-affirming healthcare for minors.
Sports and Inclusivity
The former president emphasized banning transgender women from participating in women’s sports, claiming it undermines fairness and competition.
Trump’s promises align with a broader Republican agenda to restrict transgender rights. With control over both chambers of Congress, his proposals could mark a significant shift in U.S. policies affecting LGBTQ individuals. The impact of these measures will likely spark intense debates in the coming months.
