US President Donald Trump will issue a series of executive orders targeting diversity programs and gender identity policies Monday, using his inauguration speech to signal a definitive break with what he decries as “woke” culture.
Gatekeepers News reports that 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.
He also demonised any recognition of gender diversity, attacking transgender people — notably transgender women in sports — and gender-affirming care for children.
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.”
The policies will almost certainly face legal challenges.
In practical terms going forward, official documents would be forced to “reflect s3x accurately,” the official said, without stating whether that meant gender assigned at birth.
