Donald Trump has vowed to end 'transgender lunacy' in women's sports on his return to office, underlining the issue as a priority for when he becomes President once again. Speaking at the AmericaFest in Arizona, Trump said: 'With a stroke of my pen on Day 1, we’re going to stop the transgender lunacy.

'And I will sign executive orders to end child mutilation, get transgender out of the military and out of our elementary schools and middle schools and high schools. 'And we will keep men out of women’s sports. And that will, likewise, be done on Day 1. Should I do Day 1, Day 2 or Day 3? How about Day 1?.

'Under the Trump administration, it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders — male and female. It doesn’t sound too complicated. Does it?'. Trump didn't offer any further details in terms of what he plans to sign into law but given his inauguration in January 20, people won't have to wait too long to find out.

Donald Trump has underlined his aim to remove transgender athletes from sport as President. Trump campaigned hard on his disdain for trans athletes competing in women's sports, especially during the Olympics earlier this year. He targeted women's boxer Imane Khelif, who is not transgender but was alleged to have failed a gender eligibility test a year before the Games this summer in Paris.
