Former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has vowed to what he calls, "transgender ideology", on his first day to the office, if elected to power.
At a recent rally held at the Concord Convention Center, North Carolina, Trump reiterated his commitment to banning "transgender ideology" in schools and prohibiting gender-affirming procedures for minors, Mint reported.
"On day one, I will sign an executive order banning critical race theory or transgender insanity,” Trump declared. Emphasising his objective to "defeat the toxic poison of gender ideology", he asserted his belief that "god only created two genders - male and female".
The former US President also took a sharp jibe at Vice President and rival Kamala Harris and accused her of "hostility towards Christianity". Criticising her stance on allowing transgender women to compete in women's sports, Donald Trump promulgated that "he would keep men out of women's sports and enact a law banning the practice across all 50 states".
Donald Trump, during his address, also threw light on his commitment to religious freedom in education and highlighted familiar themes from his past campaigns, including the pledge that Americans would "proudly say 'Merry Christmas' again".
