**Presidential Candidate Disputes Gender Spectrum, Stands Firm on Binary Belief**
While some argue that gender is an extensive spectrum, others, including 2024 Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, maintain that it is, in fact, binary. Ramaswamy made his stance clear during a recent conversation on NBC’s “Meet the Press” with Chuck Todd, providing a science-based response that garnered praise.
As mainstream media and various groups continue to push the idea of gender as a spectrum, there are those who resist this thought, arguing that gender remains binary – male and female. Vivek Ramaswamy, a presidential candidate for the Republican Party in 2024, staunchly supports this binary belief, as he demonstrated during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” with Chuck Todd.
