Ahead of the presidential inauguration on Monday, an incoming White House official announced that the incoming US president, Donald Trump, would order the US government to recognise only two biological sexes.
According to the official, it is the policy of the United States to recognise two sexes: male and female.
“What we’re doing today is defining that it is the policy of the United States to recognise two sexes: male and female,” the official stated.
Similarly, Trump said he would eliminate federal government diversity programmes as he takes office.
“The Department of the Treasury — this was a little while ago now — included diversity training that said all white people, regardless of how ‘woke’ they are, contribute to racism. So, this type of funding, we’re going to end. These diversity programmes, we’re going to end them,” the official said.
