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.
Oh, true, the article right there says “As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male and female,” he declared.
Well, that’s just dumb.
It reads to me more or less like “It’s the official policy of the United States that mass and weight are the same thing.”
Like I can understand the confusion that some people would have over such similar concepts, but to claim they’re the same is just ridiculous and very easily disproven.
It’s definitely 80 year old senile old man logic.
He didn’t actually write any of these orders. I am not sure he would even be capable.
The question becomes who did write this order.
It’s terrifying that whoever wrote this order obviously lacks basic education.
It sounds like an 80 year old dudes opinions either way.
I totally get what you are saying. I think it would be cool to know who actually drafted all these up. It is clear Trump did not. Understanding who is writing these and who is actually calling the shots in the Trump apparatus is paramount to unraveling the truth about what is going on.
I think it is past time to keep pretending the President is the one who makes decisions. It is clear there are a lot of people that the American public does not even know that are the real policy makers.
Demented Fartypants McGee over there as commander-in-queef to the most powerful military in the world. No biggie.
