Entertainment world reacts to Donald Trump’s “two gender” policy: “The right to be who we truly are, is vital”

Donald Trump has ruled that the United States of America will only recognise two sexes, male and female – see what celebrities have had to say about the policy below.Yesterday (January 20), Donald Trump was sworn in as President of the United States for a second time. During his inauguration speech, the President declared: “As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.”While it initially appeared that Trump had mixed up the terms “sex” and “gender”, his administration clarified that the President would sign an executive order that would recognise two sexes only – male and female – and declare that they cannot be changed and that federal employers would need to use the term sex, not gender.For reference, sex refers to biological characteristics of a human whereas gender refers to characteristics of male and female that are socially constructed.Since his declaration, a handful of celebrities have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the policy.

Greenpeace are highlighting the current threats facing our oceans and their ecosystems, including acidification, climate change, industrial fishing and pollution – an urgent cause given the Norwegian government’s current plans to allow commercial mining operations to begin in the Arctic.A post shared by Greenpeace UK (@greenpeaceuk)“I was bowled over at the sheer magnitude of the Arctic – and also its deep fragility,” Collier said.
