US President Donald Trump has called on Congress to pass a bill “permanently banning and criminalising sex changes on children across the United States”
“I want Congress to pass a bill permanently banning and criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in the wrong body. This is a big lie and our message to every child in America is that you are perfect exactly the way God made you. Because we are getting wokeness out of our schools and out of our military and it’s already out and it’s out of our society.
“We don’t want it. Wokeness is trouble. Wokeness is bad. Its gone and we feel so much better for it, don’t we. Don’t we feel better? Our service members won’t be activists and ideologues. They will be fighters and warriors. They will fight for our country.” Trump stated in a Congress meeting on Tuesday.
Trump’s comments come over a month after he signed an executive order to restrict “chemical and surgical” sex-change procedures for minors.
“Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions,” the order, entitled “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” stated.
“This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end.”
