Republican presidential candidate Gov. Ron DeSantis and other conservative critics took aim at former president Donald Trump for hedging this week on the explosive issue of transgenderism — and refusing to give a clear answer on whether he believes it’s possible to change one’s sex .

Trump responded with a long-drawn-out “Ummm” and an uncomfortable laugh when host Megyn Kelly, in a Thursday interview on her “The Megyn Kelly Show” on Sirius XM, asked: “Can a man become a woman?”

“In my opinion,” he finally said, shaking his head slightly, “you have a man, you have a woman.”

“I, I, I think part of it is birth,” he continued.

“Can the man give birth? No.”

But he seemed to leave the door open on that criterion.

“They’ll come up with some answer to that also someday,” Trump went on.

“I heard just the other day they have a way that now the man can give birth. No, I would say I’ll continue my stance on that.”

His feeble answer drew derision from conservatives.

“Don’t tell me a man can become a woman because it’s not true,” DeSantis said Friday in a speech to the Concerned Women for America in Washington, DC.

“Don’t tell me a man can get pregnant because it’s not true.”

“There is value in standing up for what is true,” the Florida governor said in comments that did not call out Trump by name.

“And what woke agenda is, is it represents a war on the truth itself.”

Longtime Trump antagonist Erick Erickson joined in.

“When a former president cannot and does not immediately say ‘no’ when asked if a man can become a woman, he does not need to be president again,” the right-wing commentator posted on X, formerly Twitter. ***

You cannot change your sex, period. Those XX or XY chromosomes will remain, no matter what you do.
