Megyn Kelly and more celebrated President Donald Trump’s comments about how transgenders can never be women, no matter what they do.
Speaking at the Women’s History Month event in the East Room of the White House, Trump pointed to the Executive Order he signed that the United States will only recognize two genders.
“For four long years, we had an administration that tried to abolish the very concept of womanhood and replace it with radical gender ideology … Under the Trump administration, we’re ending the Marxist war on women,” Trump said.

“No matter how many surgeries you have, or chemicals you inject, if you are born with male DNA in every cell of your body, you can never become a woman,” he added. “You’re not going to be a woman.”
“And that’s why last month I proudly signed a historic executive order to ban [trans-identifying] men from competing in women’s sports,” Trump continued, noting that he also banned “puberty blockers and the sexual mutilation of minors.”
During the event Trump also talked about how it was a day to “honor the legacy of incredible women like Betsy Ross, Harriet Tubman, Susan B. Anthony, Clara Barton, and Amelia Earhart, all legends. And their extraordinary courage and patriotism and devotion propelled our nation to glory and to greatness.”
The comments about trans-identifying males — and the fact that they can never be women — drew praise from outspoken female advocates like the host of Sirius XM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast and former collegiate female swimmer Riley Gaines, among others.
“PREACH, Mr. President!” Kelly wrote on X, sharing a clip of Trump’s comments from the event.
Riley Gaines wrote,“‘No matter how many surgeries you have, or chemicals you inject, if you are born with male DNA in every cell of your body, you can never become a woman. You’re not going to be a woman.’ LOUDER PLEASE!!!!”
TPUSA’s Charlie Kirk wrote, “Finally, America once again has a president who will mark Women’s History Month by honoring actual women.‘No matter how many surgeries you have, or chemicals you inject, if you are born with male DNA in every cell of your body, you can never become a woman.’ Amen!”
During the 2024 election, Kelly spoke at a Trump campaign event and said the reason she was voting for him was because he would protect women and look out “for our forgotten boys and men.”
“The boys should not be in the girl’s sports. The boys should not be in the girl’s bathrooms,” the podcast host said. “He [Trump] got mocked by the left for saying that he would be a protector of women. He will be a protector of women and it’s why I’m voting for him.”
