On the campaign trail Trump railed against diversity, equity and inclusion policies in the federal government and corporate world, saying they discriminated against white people -- men in particular.
In his inauguration speech at the US Capitol, Trump said “as of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.”
“I will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life,“ Trump said in his inauguration speech, calling the new moves a “revolution of common sense.”
In practical terms going forward, official documents would be forced to “reflect sex accurately,“ the official said, without stating whether that meant gender assigned at birth.
The government would also only recognize two genders -- male and female -- ending official policies that recognized a third gender, denoted by an “X” on US passports for example.
The official did not specify any clear policies on gender transitions -- but did suggest that genders assigned at birth could not be changed.
The government would also immediately move to curtail programs that sought to redress historical inequality but that Trump has insisted disadvantage white people, particularly men.
They added that the incoming administration would move to “terminate all discriminatory programs” while also seeking out civil service roles linked to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion that had been renamed by the Biden administration in an effort to protect them from Trump's axe.
Transgender fear
He had also promised to ban gender-affirming care for minors and to take legal action against any doctors and educators who carry out or enable the practice.
The LGBT National Help Center has been receiving about 2,000 calls per day since the election results, instead of the usual 300, according to its director Aaron Almanza.
Anti-trans rhetoric was a mainstay of Trump's campaign rallies, drawing huge cheers from crowds fired up by the Republican's false claims that children were being forced to undergo gender reassignment, among other lies.
