Washington: US President-elect Donald Trump promised to approve an official state policy recognising only two genders in the country- male and female.
“Under the Trump administration, it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders — male and female. Doesn’t sound too complicated, does it?” Trump said, speaking at the Turning Point Action conference in Arizona on Sunday.
According the broadcast of the event, the conference participants responded to the future president’s words with ovation.
Earlier, the Times newspaper reported, citing military sources, reported that Trump planned to issue an order that would lead to the dismissal of all transgender military personnel, which could result in about 15,000 people leaving the service.
US entrepreneur Elon Musk, whom Trump plans to appoint as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), in turn, supports life imprisonment for doctors who perform sex-change operations on children.
A November study by the Associated Press showed that about half of American citizens believe that support for transgender rights in the United States had “gone too far.”
