Not Just a Bold Statement: What Trump's 'Only Two Sexes in the US' Means

Not Just a Harsh Statement: What Trump's Words About “Only Two Sexes in the US” Mean Alexandra Sadovaya

American leader Donald Trump said that officially there are now “only two genders” in the United States. This applies exclusively to federal ministries and departments.

At the same time, this does not apply to private businesses and people's personal lives. This was noted to Channel 24 by political scientist and Americanist Alexandra Filipenko.

“Nobody will call the police”

Alexandra Filipenko noted that the decree, which Donald Trump has probably already signed, applies exclusively to federal ministries and departments, obtaining certain documents, filling out forms, and so on. For example, when getting a driver's license, you will only be able to indicate male or female gender, there will be no third option.

At the same time, this does not affect private businesses, organizations, or people's personal lives. If in a private conversation someone asks to call themselves “they”, then no one will call the police, she emphasized.

According to the American political scientist, the United States may probably forget about liberal federal legislation for the next 20 years. The fact is that any law that even passes in Congress will run into the US Supreme Court, which is absolutely conservative in its views. In particular, on gender issues.

“Many Americans believe that too much attention was paid to this, too much was said about it by the Democrats. Much attention was focused on a small percentage of the population. Americans, by their vote, determined that such a policy can be adopted. Trump is doing this,” added Filipenko.
