Donald Trump will order the US government to recognize only two biological sexes, an incoming White House official told reporters on Monday ahead of the presidential inauguration.

“What we’re doing today is defining that it is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes: male and female,” the official said.

Also, Trump said he will eliminate federal government diversity programs as he takes office.

“The Department of Treasury — this is a little a while ago now — included diversity training that said all white people, regardless of how woke they are, contribute to racism. So this type of funding, we’re going to end at these (diversity) programs. We’re going to end that,” the official said.
