Donald Trump says he'll revoke Joe Biden's protections for trans people 'on day one'

If Donald Trump wins the presidency in November, he will reverse President Joe Bidens transgender protections on day one of a new Trump administration, the Republican nominee said Friday.
Trump made the remark on Kayal & Company, a right-wing radio talk show in Philadelphia.
The world is like a cuckoos nest right now, he said, referring to men playing in womens sports, among other transphobicthings.
Cohost Dawn Stensland raised the issue of biological boys in girls locker rooms as a result of the Biden administrations recent rule on the enforcement of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the law banning sex discrimination in federally funded educational programs.
The rule, which goes into effect August 1, states that sex discrimination includes discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. It notes, among other provisions, that trans and nonbinary students have the right to go by their chosen pronouns and use the restrooms, locker rooms, and other facilities designated for their gender identity. Several Republican-led states have filed suit challenging the rule or vowed not to enforce it.
Were gonna end it on day one the whole thing is crazy, Trump said, and he told Stensland parents whove raised concerns about trans students in locker rooms neednt be worried. Trump has often railed against trans rights and took many anti-trans actions during his presidency.

than lists of people they want to hurt and rights they want to take away.
