Donald Trump has returned to the leadership of the United States of America, after being sworn in as the 47th president in a ceremony held in the US Congress.

The new American president's speech on gender focused on traditional values ​​and the effort to more clearly define gender identity in the US.

He highlighted this as part of a commitment to a society that, according to him, will be based on merit and will fight for the end of racism, writes bbc.

"There will only be two genders: male and female," Trump declared, opposing any attempt to accept more than two gender identities.

This statement became one of the most discussed moments of the speech, as it reflected a strong stance against the idea of ​​different gender identities and movements for the recognition of some other gender categories, which are more accepted in some social and cultural groups.

Trump also announced that he would sign an executive order to protect American combatants in the military from various gender experiments, including a policy that would maintain only two genders, and that would avoid interventions that, according to him, would have a negative impact on the combat capabilities and performance of troops. /Telegraph/
