Trump Vows to End ‘Transgender Lunacy’ on Day One

President Donald Trump has vowed that he will put an end to “transgender lunacy” with executive orders on “Day One” of his second term in the White House.

Trump affirmed the pledge during a speech at Turning Point USA’s America Fest conference last month.

“With a stroke of my pen on Day One, we are going to stop the transgender lunacy,” Trump said.

“And 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,” he said as the crowd erupted in cheers and applause.

“And we will keep men out of women’s sports.

“And that will likewise be done on Day One.

“Shall I do Day One, day two, or day three? How about Day One, right?” he said.

“Under the Trump administration, it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male and female.”

Women’s sports activist Riley Gaines celebrated the speech.

“Promises made, promises kept,” she wrote in a post on X.

The official position of the Biden administration is that states should not be able to prohibit gender-confused minors from obtaining permanently damaging drugs and surgeries.

Last month, Biden’s solicitor general argued in the Supreme Court against commonsense laws in Kentucky, Tennessee, and elsewhere that prohibit the procedures.

In addition to promoting the false idea that someone can change his or her sex, transgender drugs, and surgeries are also linked to bone density loss, infertility, heart diseases, and other serious harms.

Meanwhile, studies have confirmed that around 80 percent of individuals with gender confusion will outgrow their struggles naturally.

Those who don’t grow out of the phase can also benefit from counseling to address the root cause of the problem.

Trump has frequently promised to tackle “transgender insanity,” particularly when it targets children.

During a campaign speech in 2023, Trump said:

“On Day One, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children.

“And I will keep men out of women’s sports,” President Trump pledged.

“I will sign a law prohibiting child sexual mutilation in all 50 states.”

Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris’s support for free transgender drugs and surgeries for prisoners, along with the Democratic Party’s refusal to condemn gender-confused males competing in girl’s sports and using their locker rooms, is considered one reason why Trump won.

Massachusetts Democrat Seth Moulton faced backlash from transgender activists for saying after the election that his party is too extreme on some gender issues.

“Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face,” Moulton said after the election.

“I have two little girls, I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.”

Despite the party’s losses in November, former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki urged the Democrats to double down.

Psaki called on the Left to keep pushing the transgender agenda, pushing back on Moulton specifically.
