U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to stop the “transgender lunacy” on his very first day in office.
Trump made the announcement at the AmericaFest 2024 event in Phoenix, AFP reports.
“I will sign executive orders to end child sexual mutilation, get transgender out of the military and out of our elementary schools and middle schools and high schools,” the president-elect said, adding that the United States government will officially recognize only two genders, male and female.
Under the Joe Biden administration, the U.S. first began issuing American IDs with an “X” gender marker in October 2021. Such IDs are intended for non-binary, intersex, and gender non-conforming people.
