“With a stroke of my pen on Day 1, we are going to stop the transgender madness,” Trump proclaimed to cheers. “And I will sign executive orders to end child mutilation, remove transgender people from the military and from our elementary, middle and high schools.
“And we’ll keep men out of women’s sports. And that, in the same way, will be done on day 1. Should I do day 1, day 2 or day 3? How about day 1? Under the Trump administration, it will be the official day of the United States government policy that there are only two genders: male and female. Doesn’t sound too complicated, right?
