Summary
Representative Sarah McBride, the first out trans congresswoman, criticized Donald Trump’s executive order defining gender as strictly male or female.
McBride points out that biologically all embryos develop as female until the SRY gene activates weeks after conception.
The order, which ties gender to reproductive cells at conception, unintentionally categorizes all humans as female from conception based on biological facts.
McBride’s remarks highlight scientific flaws in the policy.
I’m not sure what is more disconcerting. That the people in charge truly are a bunch of fucking idiots.
Or that those idiots have outplayed and outsmarted the Democrats at damn near every turn for 20+ years.
One team is trying to govern, and the other team is trying to win.
If Democrats lied constantly, denied science, sowed fear and hatred, and used the law to enforce their personal religious beliefs… They’d be indistinguishable from Republicans.
They didn’t outsmart them, they just are trying to destroy everything. Their actions aren’t bounded by such qualifiers as “good things happening”.
This assumes a fair playing field.
One gender for everyone!
You’ve heard of non-binary gender, get ready for its upgraded form: unary gender
Ope we’re all gay now. Time to grab the most outrageous outfit you can come up with and get in the parade everybody.
Urinary gender???
Any of y’all wanna join the Peepee Club? Urine!
Wanna come to a club where people wee on each other?
You kids are spoiled with all your gender identities. Back in my day, we only had one gender, and we were grateful for it!
For some reason this makes me think of the inscription on the One Ring.
One gender to start them all, one gender defines them
One gender to bring them all, and in togetherness find them
It began with the forging of the Genders. Three were given to the Transgenders, eepy, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Non-binaries, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine genders were gifted to the furry-folk, who above all else desire power. For within these genders was bound the strength and the will to govern each gay community. But they were all of them deceived, for another gender was made. Deep in the land of Mordor, in the Fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged a master gender, and into this gender he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life.
One sex to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them.
“Human Beings”, like the Greendale mascot.
We’re all yesgendered now! Hooray!
If you’re not female, you’re dead! Not a threat, just a fact.
Trump: “You must identify with the gender you were at the time of conception.”
Science: “Everyone starts out as women and don’t become men until 6 weeks after conception.”
Trump: “That is exactly what I meant. Everyone who knows science must identify as a girly girl.”
Trump decided he wanted to be the first female president obviously. Don’t you liberals understand 5d chess!?
“Trump beat Hilary to being the first woman president” is honestly hilarious to me. Sad, but also hilarious.
He literally just wants to be the first female president
Can anyone clarify how the 6wk part override the zygote being XX or XY at conception? (Automod deleted my last inquiry)
The chromosomes being set at conception seems to be the sticking point for those in favor.
At least McBride can now use the women’s restrooms in the Capitol. And so must all the other politicians!
Does this make him officially the first woman president? So progressive.
If it’s retroactive, then we haven’t had a single male president.
No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.
EO != law
Donvict and his supporters (yeah, I know, don’t blame the precious voters!) don’t really understand science.
Bad headline IMO, she’s more so pointing out more flaws in it which is different than laughing it off
“This is logically flawed because <drops a stack of biology textbooks on the table>” won’t really bother a bunch of Young Earth Creationists. You’re arguing with people who will retreat to the baseline argument “because God said so” in a pinch. Getting into the messy details of embryonic development won’t save you, because that’s not how their nominations to the FBI, the DOJ, or the Federal Judiciary are going to interpret any of it.
Actually it being poorly written helps a lot with court challenge. That was one of the reasons why so much was overturned in his first administration. There was a fear that this time he’d sign better written executive orders that would survive challanges instead we’re getting a lot of them like this
The average intelligence of his hanger ons has dropped through the floor. Not to say there arent some possibly smart ones but those ones are probably having to spend way more energy keeping themselves sane, imagine being stuck in a room with both Trump and Musk youd have to expend so much willpower just to not go into a suicidal and homocidal rage.
This assumes the courts will challenge it.
There are already groups that have pledge lawsuits on this specific executive orders. The courts don’t just decide to do a lawsuit, people and organizations
Others have already filed multiple lawsuits on multiple of his executive orders. There’s 4 different lawsuits already filed against his one trying to overturn birthright citizenship for instance. ACLU, group of 22 state attorney generals, separate group of states, and some other orgs.
Also note that they’re also filing many of these in courts with more dem appointees who are much more likely to grant injunctions, rule favorably, etc. This is a tactic called judge shoping that republicans have historically loved to exploit and now it’s being used against them. Most cases never reach SCOTUS so this stuff matters. SCOTUS can only take up so many cases with 9 justices and there’s already massive numbers of suits here
“God made me a woman at conception and changed me to a man. I’m correcting God’s indecisiveness.”
Its so stupid that the government of one of the world’s most powerful countries is occupying itself trying to restrict people’s healthcare and bathroom usage based on some poorly understood and arbitrary rules about zygotes. Meanwhile, the planet burns.
It’s easier to wage an imaginary culture war than it is to try to make any real changes
it’s a distractions and a very effective one at that.
So this means we did get the first female president! Yippee
I KNEW IT!
I’M A LESBIAN!!!
I’ve known my whole life and it’s a relief to FINALLY to be able to come out officially.
THANK YOU PRESIDENT RUMP!
The president Donald Trump is the president with more women in their cabinet ever.
Dude is literally drowning in pussy
Binders of women
I wish, that’d be a hell of a headline.
“Muffled at Last, Serial Snapper Grabber Snatched to Death”
So far, only one cabinet member has been confirmed by the Senate, Marco Rubio for Secretary of State…
So I guess you’re still not wrong. ;)
I feel like an invulnerable Goddess, in my sleep Trump tried to turn me into a man. I went Ultra Instinct and slapped that shit without waking up, and when I finally do get up I find that the whole country is one giant lesbian slumber party.
This shit aint nothing to me ma’am, Madame President could suck my gock if I wasn’t post-op.
I would laugh my ass off that this bites him in the ass because it makes all scientific distinctions useless when making more laws. Just because his dumb ass doesn’t understand the nuance.
Trump scientifically and detail obtuse, color me derped!
There’s an easy way to redefine this. If Trump can grab you by it, and you just let it happen because he’s a star, you’re a woman.
