US EditionWhat is a woman? Trump answers reporter's question
- On March 28, 2025, at a public event, President Donald Trump answered a reporter's question asking him to define the word "woman."
- The question of defining 'what a woman is' has become politically charged, particularly with Republican-led states moving to legally define sex based on birth and limit transgender rights, while progressives emphasize transgender rights and fluid gender definitions.
- Trump responded with four answers, including "A woman is someone that can have a baby under certain circumstances," and "A woman is a person who is much smarter than a man, Ive always found," which drew laughter and applause, and also referenced transgender women participating in women's sports, calling the practice 'demeaning' and 'very unfair'.
- In Alabama, Governor Kay Ivey signed a bill defining sex as determined at birth with two genders, male and female, stating, 'If the Good Lord made you a boy, you're a boy,' and 'if He made you a girl, you're a girl'.
- These legal efforts to define sex based on birth are mirrored in states like Nebraska, Arizona, Indiana, Missouri, and South Carolina, and are viewed by supporters as protecting women-only spaces and fairness in sports, while critics, including Democratic lawmakers, transgender advocates, and medical groups, argue they are discriminatory, ignore intersex people and scientific complexity, and can be dangerous.
