Trump threatens trans people by promising to attack their rights on his first day

UNITED STATES – “ There are only two genders, man and woman”. Donald Trump's return to power does not bode well, as we knew, but less than a month before his inauguration the contours of the coming disaster are emerging. Sunday evening, December 22, Donald Trump announced that he wanted to stop the “ transgender delirium » from his first day at the White House, in a new salvo from the Republican camp against the rights of the LGBT+ community.

From the inauguration 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”hammered the next American president, once again relaying the moral panic fueled by conservatives. They believe that the transgender minority can be dangerous for American society.

“The official policy of the United States shall be that there are only two genders, male and female.”continued the winner of the November 5 presidential election in front of a crowd of young conservatives gathered in Phoenix (Texas), as you can see in the video at the top of the article.

The scarecrow of the diktat of right-thinking

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.

During the electoral campaign, the Republican billionaire repeatedly brandished the scarecrow of what the conservative camp sees as the diktat of right-thinking.

Republicans oppose LGBT+ rights in the states they control and, in the US Congress, right-wing elected officials wanted to block access to the women's toilets in the Capitol for the first transgender woman elected to the House, Sarah, in November. McBride.

And « golden age » which promises to be very dark

The « wokism must stop »said the Republican again to the applause of the crowd.

The term “ wokisme »borrowed from African-American struggles, is hijacked by political figures and conservative movements to denounce what they consider to be an excess of activism with regard to the demands of minorities and social and climatic injustices.

In his speech lasting more than an hour – in the style of his campaign meetings – the former and future president linked his priorities for his next mandate, which he promises as a “ golden age »and insisted on the speed with which he wants to implement his reforms.
