Trump Claims Radical Left ‘Invented’ Transgender People, Vows to Ban Them From Existing

In a recent campaign video posted to Trump’s social networks, he unveiled what he called his “plan to stop the chemical, physical and emotional mutilation of our youth.”

“The left wing gender insanity being pushed in our children is an act of child abuse, very simple,” Trump begins.

He then launches into a screed about how “minor children” are being operated on willy-nilly all over the country, which is not the case. “Can you believe this?” he says at one point, which only serves to underscore that anyone listening to him should, in fact, not.

He also says that his department of education will require teachers to promote the nuclear family and “the roles of mothers and fathers and celebrating rather than erasing the things that make men and women different and unique.”

Make no mistake, Trump (or, rather, whoever wrote this for him), is echoing the right-wing claim that teachers are part of a left-wing plot to destroy heterosexuality and cisgender existence merely by acknowledging that not everyone is heterosexual or cisgender.

And listening to Trump talk about “celebrating” anything about women is especially galling coming from someone who has trafficked in sexism and misogyny his entire personal and professional life. Some of us haven’t forgotten the many credible accusations of sexual assault against Trump or when he was caught bragging about committing sexual assault on tape.

“I will ask Congress to pass a bill establishing that the only genders recognized by the United States government are male and female, and they are assigned at birth,” he says.

If Republicans regain control of the U.S. Senate (remember, they currently have a narrow majority in the U.S. House) and win the presidency (whether it’s Trump or any other Republican) this bill is as good as passed. And a right-wing packed Supreme Court will be more than happy to uphold it.

“No serious country should be telling its children that they were born with the wrong gender, a concept that was never heard of in all of human history,” Trump continues. “It was all when the radical left invented it just a few years ago.”

This is, of course, not true or historically accurate, but then again it is coming from the guy who believes he is still rightfully president and told us that Covid would just “go away” like “a miracle.” Here’s hoping he just goes away. That would be a miracle.

In January, he threatened a federal rollback of trans rights if he is re-elected in 2024. The former president promised to ban gender-affirming healthcare for trans youth, go after hospitals that provide such treatments and push for a federal law recognising only two genders.

Other Harmful Trump Administration Actions

Harmful Trump Administration Actions


The Trump administration has taken many other actions to roll back civil rights and health care protections and target vulnerable communities. While not specifically directed at transgender people or gender identity protections, we list them here because it is critically important that we view our quest for transgender equality as intertwined with other social justice movements. These include attacks on reproductive rights, the Affordable Care Act, refugees and other immigrants and the enforcement of civil rights laws. Many of these actions will also disproportionately harm transgender people. These are just a few examples:

Kicking Americans off Medicaid and Food Stamps: The Trump Administration has taken numerous actions to kick Americans in need off of Medicaid and SNAP coverage. On April 10, Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to push for work requirements for low-income people in America who receive federal assistance, including Medicaid and SNAP.

Targeting Reproductive Rights: On October 6, 2017, the Department of Health and Human Services issued a regulation allowing employers and insurers to deny coverage for birth control, as long as they can cite religious reasons for doing so. In April, President Trump and Congress overturned a regulation that protected Planned Parenthood, one of the nation’s largest providers of care for transgender people, and other family planning clinics from funding discrimination by states.

Harming Sexual Assault Survivors. On September 7, 2017, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos announced she would withdraw historic guidance on schools' and universities' responsibilities to address sexual assault and sexual harassment. On September 27, 2017, the Department replaced this guidance with flawed and dangerous “interim guidance” tipping the scales against student survivors seeking protection on campus. This is especially dangerous for transgender students, because 47% of transgender adults in the US Transgender Survey were sexual assault survivors.

Cruel and Relentless Attacks on Immigrant Communities. On September 5, 2017, President Trump acted to strip hundreds of thousands of Americans and their families of security, stability, and safety by ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. On April 6, 2018, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a “zero tolerance” policy that separated hundreds of immigrant children from their families. On April 10, a federal official announced that the Department of Justice was halting the Legal Orientation Program, which offers legal assistance to immigrants. On June 11, Attorney General Sessions ruled that domestic or gang violence are not grounds for asylum in the United States. These are just a few of many anti-immigrant actions that are especially dangerous for many LGBT immigrants who could face life-threatening violence if deported.

Putting Health Care Out of Reach: On April 13, 2017, the Department of Health and Human Services rolled back numerous Affordable Care Act rules to reduce protections for people seeking and using health insurance. These actions make it harder to enroll in health care plans, allow plans to sharply raise deductibles, and weaken requirements for insurance plans to have in-network providers that serve low-income communities. These changes disproportionately affect people of color and any one with lower incomes, including transgender people. These changes make getting health care coverage harder for people who lose coverage or who depend on community clinics.

Expanding Immigration Detention: The Department of Homeland Security is vastly expanding the number of immigrants held in immigration detention centers nationwide, while also eliminating protections for health and safety in detention centers. Reducing these protections for immigrants who are being detained is wrong, and it's especially dangerous for vulnerable transgender immigrants, many of whom are asylum-seekers who risk extreme abuse.

Banning Muslims and Refugees: On January 27, 2017 and again on March 6, President Trump signed executive orders seeking to ban entry by refugees and travelers from certain Muslim-majority countries and drastically reduce the number of refugees allowed to seek safety in the United States. We cannot stand for a world where people in danger are denied entry because of who they are, including where they come from or whether they are Muslim or any other religion. LGBT refugees are among the many who are fleeing life-threatening persecution because of who they are or what they believe. While the bans were allowed to take effect by the Supreme Court, court cases challenging them continue.
