In the United States of America, trans men and women are currently experiencing a major setback following the recent ban prohibiting trans men from participating in men’s sports and transgender women from competing in women’s Sports.
According to the Speaker of the Parliament Mike Johnson in a post on X, the House of Republicans passed the bill to ensure that men cannot compete in women’s sports.
“Today is a great day in America because House Republicans just passed @RepGregSteube’s Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act ensuring men cannot compete in women’s sports.”
“Men are men, women are women, and men cannot become women. It’s just that simple.” his post read.
The recent developments suggest that incoming President Donald Trump may reinstate a policy that bans transgender individuals from serving in the United States military.
On July 26, 2017, then-President Trump announced via a series of tweets that transgender individuals would no longer be allowed to serve in the U.S. military.
This policy was later overturned by the administration of outgoing President Joe Biden. While it is unclear what decision President Trump will make upon taking office, there are discussions indicating that he may reintroduce a ban on transgender individuals in the military.
