By executive order, everyone is now female 🎉

What I understand about the “intention of the text” is that:

That's probably the intention, but because it was written by somebody with zero academic biological experience that is also trying to cosplay as a professional writing a rigorous definition, it fails to do so.

XY: male. XX: female.

Would you like to hear a crazy secret? We biologists don't use the words "gender" and "sex" separately because we feel like it, there is a major difference between the too. Want to hear something even crazier? We don't use "XY = male!" as our definition either.

People who’s body or mind don’t match with their genes

Huh... where else do you think their traits come from? Their soul? Their zodiac sign? Your phenotype is nothing but your genes + regulated expression from the environment.

then be a male or a female with one or a combination of hormonal, developmental, or psychological issues

Are blond people just a male or female with a developmental issue in their hair's pigmentation? Or for this specific category of human diversity you're okay with calling them what they are rather than trying to define what wild type genomic expression is the "correct"? I mean, a person with XY chromosomes but a mutated SRY gene would develop entirely as a female, your worldview seems to imply that's "hormonal and developmental issues!" but then I'd love to hear your views on race - or in fact, I would much rather not hear them, if they follow the same logic as your initial proposition.

While we are here, how about the XY individuals with a working SRY gene that physically develop as male, but have certain neural activation patterns only found in women and that swear they were born in the wrong body from a very young age? Why exactly are we going to discard the biological evidence to their subjective perception, just because it makes you uncomfortable? Because if that's the case, maybe your subjectivity makes me uncomfortable... should we start listing and denying aspects of your physiology too?

What about:

XYY?

XXY?

XXX?

He's so petty he had to steal that title from both Hilary and Kamala it just took him this long...

She can't keep getting away with it!

I will fucking eat my shirt if someone from the media addresses every male person in the Trump administration as "Madam" or "Ms."

Lesbian too! So brave 🥹

First Woman President and first Lesbian President 🎉😅

So when he said "grab them by the pussy" he was just talking about having a wank?

Get out of here with that big science speak that isn't allowed in American now

At conception the future sex is determined by the chromosomes that the sperm contributes. Once fertilized, there are either X and X or X and Y, which will be XX and XY once meiosis occurs for the first time.

So technically once fertilization occurs(conception), sex has been determined.

MAGA: "truth and science needs to bow to holy scripture!"

The Bible: "For in Christ there is.. neither male nor female..." (Galatians 3:28)

MAGA: "wait, not like that!"

We are all enbies on this blessed day.

But what society-created roles and stereotypes will I conform my entire being to now? I don't know how to be me and need to be told options.

They were telling us this was the plan when they tried to get rid of pronouns.

Those darned conservatives and their liberal agenda!

It's a bad faith question that deserves a hillarious answer

"What is a woman? Why it's someone whom, family members aside, you've never seen naked."

"What is a woman? The kind of people at the bar who cover their drinks when you get too close."

"What is a woman? A MISERABLE LITTLE PILE OF SECRETS!"

"What is a woman? Well these curvy people who smell nice and go by she/her pronouns and sometimes they have big meaty penises to suck, but only if you're lucky."

"What is a woman? According to Donald Trump's day 1 executive order; literally every American Citizen."

That's always what I figured, that they'd fumble if you turned the question around and asked them to define woman or man. Buncha chumps.

E: le spelling

4d wave feminism...

There’s only one gender and it’s mine

Own that period joke. You conceived it, whether accidental or not, so you should carry it to term.

There sure are a lot more lesbians than there used to be.

Hey guuuurrrll!

And people said I'd never meet a nice woman...

I guess we can completely get rid of Hey Guys now.

Can you imagine, an entire nation- identifying as female? I’d imagine their reaction would be similar to how Christian’s felt when they saw the Bible being removed from schools….

“Nooooo! Not like that!”

Honestly, probably yes, bureaucratically speaking.

Their eyes glazed over at the science bits

No question. But the memes are copium for this dark age we are entering. 😭

A transition period, as it were?

...So we're all legally non-binary? NBs rise up!

This. It's incredible how people miss this little important fact

Except it is pointless to talk about any of that, since the order defines what male and female means.

Males are those belonging at conception to the sex producing small reproductive cells (aka sperm).

Females are those belonging at conception to the sex producing large reproductive cells (aka eggs).

Since at conception I (and everyone else) did not produce either, I am now neither male nor female according to the new definitions.

These posts just show that the loudest people on the left are just as scientifically illiterate as the loudest people on the right :( I mean, it's mostly just reading with understanding they fail at, not even lacking knowledge...

But aren't the sex chromosomes decided at the moment of conception (or even with the sperm/egg). They need to work on their bigotry, it's frankly just basic biology. "their legal gender is their sex chromosomes upon conception". Although that opens another can of worms for those people whose chromosomes don't match their genitals, but I'm sure they can throw a few asterisks in there to sort that out.

Except in cases like Swyer syndrome where even with a Y chromosome, gonads won't develop properly and the person will develop normal female genitals instead.

ooo mister fancy french man here with the zygotes and the gametes and what-not.

Proper MAGAt terminology is "gooblop" and "thingys". Here's your truck flag.

name checks out (the [they/she] part)

When do we get cool outfits

No, the "at conception" part is super important because it's doing a double whammy of also sneaking in "personhood-at-conception" to further undermine abortion rights.

Hey, it's only day 2. Give him time to ramp up.

Ladieez nutz

But are you voluntarily celibate if you are asexual? I don't mean it as a gatcha or something, but as a philosophical question.

In my social circle, the asexual people seem like they would probably prefer to be non- asexual because it is easier to find a partner for life if sex is not a no-go. So clearly their asexuality is not voluntary, they just are what they are. now acting on the involuntary part of yourself, is that a voluntary action?

(Sidenote: I am not saying that these asexual people aren't accepting who they are, or think it is bad that they are what they are. Personally I think being pansexual is the best because you got all the options, while I seem to be straight and I am very comfortable with it and feel like I am living a comfortable and fulfilling life with my partner. So I really mean 0 hate towards asexual people or anyone else. I am just talking about the practical impaction of sexualities in our given social norm)

I joked "welcome back to womanhood, my son" with my trans kid, but he's ok with being chromosomally female anyway, as far as I can tell. He laughed, laws don't change reality, and if it was reality they wouldn't need to make the law.

Less ecological damage for sure. No more random air cannons of confetti or balloon launches.

which i’m pretty sure were a direct response to the rising discourse on gender and transphobia….

No, George Washington was now the first female president.

Madam, not mrs.

Sex isn't directly determined by chromosomes, it is determined by someone taking a look at the sex organs. This works for most people, but embryonic development is like most things complicated and there are a lot of factors that make it more difficult than "male" and "female". Examples are people with more than 2 chromosomes or that have absorbed a sibling in the womb. Difference of sex development is estimated to affect 1/100 people.

So when the doc takes a look just before 6 weeks, she must declare "the embryo has ovaries and no testes - female" at every single person. At literal conception: "Idk know, man, it is just 1 cell".

You can have XY chromosomes and develop a vulva and uterus. The determining factor is activation of the SRY gene of an XY karyotype then develops as a male. These individuals generally don't experience puberty without hormone replacement therapy, due to the lack of hormone producing gonads.

You're not missing anything, you're more informed on this, or less willing to play a half truth for political points.

Trump never defined it (in the executive order) by chromosome, just by the "large" and "small" productive cells at conception.

No one produces sperm at conception. No one produces sperm at birth. It's nonsense legislation.

No, they need reproductive cells to decide whether they’re big or small - they need to watch you masturbate (for formerly male NBs) to completion

I imagine if you are XY with CAIS, yes? I mean they love to talk about chromosomes and genitalia and now reproductive cells and you'd be genotypically male but phenotypically female and infertile.

They've already passed a genital inspection law for kids sports in Ohio.
