Trump Reaffirms Binary Definition of Womanhood in Women’s History Month Remarks

President Trump’s comments and policies, including bans on transgender athletes in women’s sports, have reignited debates over gender identity and fairness.

During a Women’s History Month press conference, President Trump defined a woman as someone who can have a baby under certain circumstances and noted women are often treated unfairly.
Trump signed executive orders defining gender in binary terms and banning transgender athletes from women’s sports on his first day back in office in January 2025.
The Trump administration has also banned puberty blockers and gender-affirming surgeries for minors as part of its broader stance against transgender rights.
Critics have highlighted Trump’s personal history of sexual misconduct allegations, questioning his credibility as a defender of women’s rights.
The president’s remarks align with his cultural strategy to appeal to conservative voters by opposing progressive gender ideologies.
