BREAKING: Here is the anti-trans sex/gender executive order. It's extensive, it's bad, and it's often lawless. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/
And, do not miss in "d" and "e" below, it even tries to put in the beginnings of a personhood argument, for some reason.

practically this of course doesn't matter and the whole thing is just transphobic and intersexphobic ideology
Trans women are not responsible for sex crimes. It’s white, republican men in positions of power. ⬇️

“Large cell? Mine isn’t large or I have none. Therefore…”
It just takes the right lawyers.
Or it "ignores" them by shunting them into one category without consideration. Of course this fails, i.e. Klinfelter syndrome (XXY).
who? wha? why?*
*the person who wrote this remembers some video from health class?!
wtf
It still makes very little difference, they don't GAF what you call them, it's wasted air and just tells them and us that those values are malleable if you hate them enough.
Was my hysterectomy technically a "sex change" operation? 🤭
Bruce Jenner can't stop the music.
But now what does it do?
Also MAGA: I’m going to definitely tread on YOU.
Wait. Isn’t there a period of time before the sex is even knowable??
Yes! 9 weeks!! 🤦🏼♀️🫣
Dear gawd our government is being run by an army of ignorant sycophants. Rein this shit in!!
SPEAK FOR YOURSELVES, FELLAS!
Much like parts of the medical community in the 1950s declared ahat gay people don't really exist: being gay was just an expression of a mental illness that should be cured, acc. to some of them.
Their dreams have come true: now they can finally attack the LGBT community and flaunt their hatred in broad daylight.
Because they're fucking willfully ignorant buffoons.
Trans rights forever
That’s peculiar language. There’s a specific name for that cell. Why not use it?
I think it's nuts.
Who’s gonna tell em?
They're just bigoted assholes playing on the ignorant prejudices of anti-scientific religious people who want to take away the basic human rights of the people they hate.
This is a Moral,Scientific, Sociological outrage
As per (b) "Girls night out" means hitting the club with kids, and kids only.
This is some bullshit all the way around.
It doesn't, we are, it doesn't, they don't, and we absolutely are.
He may say 'whatever the birth certificate says', but the guy writing it may define it more exactly, and he certainly isn't going to care.
mazel tov! 🍻

only jerk off idiots will take this seriously.
Sounds gay to me
The chromosomal sex is determined at fertilization, though.
I think there is a good 1A case to be made. It's easy enough to show there is no such "reality" the EO claims there is
(thinking now of fossil fuels)
They are trying to unwind history, to sweep inconveniences under the rug as they hasten global destruction.
For good reason.
They just need a judge dumb enough to legalize it.
Trump isn't even really conservative.

Ugh! It just screams focusing-on-the-budding-sexuality-of-prepubecent-children vibes. Gross.
Pour one out for the 1/5 pregnant women statistically likely to have a miscarriage.
I hope this gets overturned
Under this model, all prepubescent children are non-binary.
! Who knows what they will/won't produce by puberty?! If you're naturally barren, you're denied personhood?! Why are the politicians hyperfocused on this?! Geez did Humbert Humbert write this?! Now I'm nauseous." but idk if that came across well.
(whistling in the dark continues)
All X0 people are female
Chimerism depends on the person (zygotic mosaicism? Tissue from an absorbed twin? genetic material from a transplant?)
"Hermaphrodite" isn't really useful. A number of DSDs can cause ambiguous external genitalia. Makes eggs? Female. Sperm? Male.
According to the literal reading of this EO we are now required to refer to Trump as Madam President.
Because they *know* that chromosomal sex isn't always determinitive
"Define sex based on reproductive cells at birth"
"But now you wrote 'sperm,' think of the children"
"Ok, small, and large, happy"?"
"Change 'at birth' to 'at conception'"
"Fucking clever!"
Trans women are women. Trans men are men.
that's what
try intersex instead

I know that won’t be how they use it, but I’m trying to find humor in a situation that just feels awful.
For some reason my brain is stuck on the incredibly awkward wording of Large reproductive cell and Small reproductive cell.
I am aware of the size difference. Why aren't they using the terms egg and sperm?
Guess that's working out swell.
Won’t be long till gay marriage is made illegal
And interracial marriage will be illegal again.

Of course, it's application in those sciences is nothing like it is here, don't let my comment be construed as supporting this, I just knew from where they (incorrectly) cribbed it.
These people have never looked at embryos under electron microscopes.
Interesting, how much difficulty they are having describing something that is "incontrovertible reality." I mean, I think you would need the capacity to define something before saying it's real.
"how is babby formed?"
"How u get pregante?"
or they just didn't know the words sperm and ovum?🤦♀️

Some shrewd people working in those think tanks.
Obviously you can't with a guarantee tell one's gamete size without testing.
Right now everyone is reacting. Almost none of this is immediate, regardless of his 30 day nonsense.
Over the next couple of days we’ll get thoughtful analysis and clarity.

Don’t panic.
But I am not in panic. I am working as hard as I can to understand, to connect, to be ready. It will be hard. Just not today or this week. But pay attention.
Perhaps that means they’re going to go the designated by God route
Plutocracy kleptocracy aren’t bad enough nooooooooo
We’re goin for theocracy folks
Glad you made it out of that mindset
This is what happens dip$h!ts that try to impose their narrow uninformed worldview when biology isn't simple as the pretend.
It's so dehumanizing all of us and especially for our trans community.
It doesn’t match reality bc it’s a religion and belief not science or facts
