The American president-elect announced on Sunday that he wanted to stop the “transgender delirium” on his first day back in the Oval Office. He took advantage of the podium at AmericaFest, in Phoenix, Arizona, to reiterate his threats regarding the Panama Canal.
American President-elect Donald Trump announced on Sunday December 22 that he wanted to stop the “transgender delirium” from his first day in the White House next month, in a new salvo from the Republican camp against the rights of the LGBT+ community.
As soon as he is inaugurated on January 20, “I will sign decrees to put an end to sexual mutilation of children, exclude transgender people from the army and exclude them from primary, middle and high schools”, insisted the next American president.
“The official policy of the United States will be that there are only two genders, man and woman,” continued the winner of the November 5 presidential election to a crowd of young conservatives gathered in Phoenix, in the southwest of the country.
Medical treatments for minors to change their gender or transgender women's access to women's sports competitions are hot topics in a polarized United States.
Donald Trump, who will become the 47th president of the United States on January 20 after defeating Democrat Kamala Harris, also redoubled his attacks on Sunday in Phoenix on immigration, another favorite theme during his campaign.
