Ruto welcomes President Trump’s gender policy
President William Ruto on Sunday welcomed United States President Donald Trump’s official policy to only recognise male and female sexes.
The President said he was happy that the world’s foremost democracy had moved to swiftly provide clarity on the issue that has previously triggered controversy.
“Contrary to the past, the United States has welcomed certain developments that emphasise a clear policy direction; boys should remain boys, men should remain men, girls should remain girls, and women should remain women,’’ Ruto said.
Speaking during a Sunday church service at The Global Cathedral in Nairobi, Ruto emphasised the need to embrace the female and male-only policy.
“We have gotten to understand that the policy direction of the United States supports what we believe in,’’ President Ruto said.
“We thank God that this year, the very first news from the United States in the new administration is to confirm what the Bible says, what our faith believes in and what our tradition firmly is grounded on.’’
Last week President Trump signed executive orders affirming that the United States will recognise only two sexes, male and female, that are unchangeable.
“We will forge a society that is color blind and merit-based. … As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female,” Trump said in his inauguration speech.
