The text of Trump's EO on gender identity makes all of us legally female

[outside shooter]

Text of the EO is here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presiden...g-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/

Some of the language (emphasis mine):
“Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.
“Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.

The focus is not on sex as assigned at birth but sex at time of conception, an obvious tilt demanded by anti-abortion views.

The problem with this wordsmithing is that it ignores basic science. At fertilization, and for many weeks after, every embryo is female. "At conception" we are are female, and so Trump just defined EVERYONE as female. The sex-specific changes kick in around the sixth week of embryological development when a gene called SRY starts to be expressed. From that point onwards, most people with an XY genotype will follow a male developmental process.

So are all Americans women now? Is Trump the first female president?

If you legislate with scientific words, you should know the science.

Buy the gas, drive to a farm, and steal some eggs. Or better yet, steal some chickens. Just make sure they’re not roosters.

When did I criticize the fake Nazi salute?

This criticism is factually accurate. No embryo is phenotypically male at time of conception. Maybe they could have said that the embryo was genetically predisposed to, after maturation, produce eggs or sperm. But they didn't, due to fundamental scientific illiteracy.

Only the best people!

Don’t use fancy words like phenotype around Trump disciples. They’re more into grunts and loud explosions

Should have been "at birth," but this is meaningless. No one is running to the hospital after a night of hot sex to have the brand new embryo tested, if baby making sex was successful, and won't know the female is pregnant until later. When they do the tests for sex of the baby it's long after it's developed into a male or female. It's de facto meaning will be "at birth."

I siphoned some gas from my neighbors truck so I’m good for a few days. My other neighbor has a chicken coop and is a Texan so that should give me a right to his eggs. I was here first.

...this is meaningless.... It's de facto meaning will be "at birth."

Words matter, though. They're why lawyers exist. It's just funny that they thought they were being so cute and sciencey with their definitions, and then fell flat on the science in such an obvious way. They seem to be having serious problems defining male vs. female...
