Trump administration will take stand against ‘androgynous idiots,’ says vice president

ISTANBUL

US President Donald Trump and his administration will work against a culture that wants to turn people into “androgynous idiots who think the same, talk the same and act the same,” according to Vice President JD Vance.

At the 2025 Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, DC on Thursday, Vance urged young men not to allow “this broken culture to send you a message that you're a bad person because you're a man.”

“We actually think God made male and female for a purpose, and we want you guys to thrive as young men and as young women, and we're going to help with our public policy to make it possible to do that,” he added.

The conference is a major annual gathering for political conservatives and especially Republican Party officials.

Trump has championed the conservative cause of there being two genders, men and women, with no one allowed to change the gender they were assigned at birth.

He and his followers have also challenged the idea that there is something “toxic” in some traditional male norms.
