US President Donald Trump has slammed gender reassignment. Trump, who was hosting a Women's History Month event at the White House on Wednesday said, “No matter how many surgeries you have or chemicals you inject, if you’re born with male DNA in every cell of your body, you can never become a woman. You're not going to be a woman."
“Ending The Marxist War On Women”
The US President also criticised his predecessor Joe Biden for his gender ideology and added that his administration was ending what he labelled “the Marxist war on women.” He said, “For four long years, we had an administration that tried to abolish the very concept of womanhood and replace it with radical gender ideology... Under the Trump administration, we're ending the Marxist war on women."

Donald Trump also highlighted how the decision on sticking to just two genders was one of the first key decisions he took. Trump said, “On day one, I made the official policy of the United States that there are only two genders: Male and female... Is there anybody that disagrees with that in this room? I was thinking maybe somebody from the press might raise their hand."
