The former US president called for a legal prohibition on gender reassignment surgeries for minors.
Former US President Donald Trump has called on Congress to legislate a ban on “sex change” operations for children, criticizing what he described as “woke” culture in the United States.
He made the request during a speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday evening.
“I’ve also signed an order to cut off all taxpayer funding to any institution that engages in the sexual mutilation of our youth,” Trump stated.
“And now I want Congress to pass a bill permanently banning and criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the falsehood that any child is trapped in the wrong body.”
“Our message to every child in America is that you are perfect exactly as God created you,” Trump continued, eliciting a standing ovation from Republican members of Congress.
“Wokeness is trouble. Wokeness is bad,” he said.
