Donald Trump is not getting a lot of love from the trans community after his administration made a bold decision, just days after coming into power.
Upon executive orders by the Republicans, there will no longer be any permission granted for gender change surgeries. This was confirmed by two news media outlets.
Trump has gone on to fuel the debate by stating ‘God has only made two genders, male and female’ and that led to trans activists issuing warnings to the President for the repercussions of this behavior.
Many slammed the views of the administration and felt that it was a huge slap in the face of society where many don’t identify themselves as men or women.
‘The challenges that many Americans face due to gender discrimination is already difficult to deal with and now to have a President that holds such degrading views is shameful’- another leading trans activist explained.
Trump did hold a very clear stance about banning trans women from taking part in sports as he felt it was just wrong and unfair to those who were born female. He’s been campaigning for the ban since the start.
His close friend and billionaire Elon Musk has also been very clear about his stance on gender row and even made headlines for blasting Imane Khelif for participating as a female at this year’s Paris Olympics.
