The mind boggles with the sheer absurdity of this administration, and it's not poised to improve. Be safe, y'all!

On one hand, the implication is funny. On the other hand, facts and logic have never stopped fascists before.

Exactly. It's fun to joke, but people are reading the order way too literally. It doesn't say, "those who at conception can produce a large reproductive cell." It says something like, "those who at conception belong to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell." Any court will be able to see that the clear interpretation is that sex is defined by genetics and that anyone with XX chromosomes belongs to the female sex.

You can't produce reproductive cells at conception. But if you asked most people, they would still have no problem referring to the sex of a zygote or fetus. They would simply be operating off of the genetic definition of sex.

Donald Trump made himself the first female president on day 1 by a sex-redefining executive order. He did the thing his supporters imagine Democrats would do.

No, they do that at school without parental consent.

God I almost forgot about that laughable conspiracy theory from the right

For as much as they ask what a woman is to "own the overcomplicated transgender ideology", it's so funny that they seemingly don't know either

I thought someone was joking when i was told about this one. Ugh

Someone should edit his Wikipedia page

Perhaps amusing among all of us here, but that will not effect change.

I am bothered that everyone seems to be misunderstanding this. You have no gametes at conception, they come later. Everyone in the country is agender/genderless.

Didn't the order say something like, the person/thing that will produce the small or large sex cell?

___ means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the ___ reproductive cell

Scientifically, it's nonsense. There is no uniform line to be traced from "conception" to "reproductive cell".

Demagogically, a malicious interpretation could mean "only those who, through their genotype, could be traced from conception to reproduction, are a person".

It's really sad that Elon did not know that we are female at conception.
