“With a stroke of my pen on Day 1, we’re going to stop the transgender lunacy,” Trump proclaimed to cheers. “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?”

As he accepted the Republican nomination for president in July, he made his stance clear.

“We will not have men playing in women’s sports, that will end immediately,” he said at the time.
