"Global Leaders Weigh In on Trump’s Controversial Gender Policies"

Former US President Donald Trump's decision to formally recognize only two genders – male and female – has sparked mixed reactions globally. This policy, outlined in one of his initial 26 executive orders, prohibits American agencies from acknowledging any gender identities beyond these two categories.

The move has elicited strong responses from world leaders and the international community. In Canada, the leader of the Conservative Party, widely regarded as the frontrunner to become the next prime minister, expressed support for Trump's stance. Meanwhile, the decision has ignited widespread debates in Australia, where government officials and activists remain divided on the issue.

The executive order has also drawn significant criticism and concern from the global LGBTQ+ community, who view it as a step backward in their fight for recognition and equality.
