Trump declares ~~himself~~ herself the first female President of the USA? π³
(Edit: Excuse me Mrs. President, I had misgendered you.)
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 π₯Ή
First Woman President and first Lesbian President ππ
Technically no. They aren't male or female, they're undifferentiated. Since we're neither male nor female at conception, this order means males and females don't actually exist at all.
Get out of here with that big science speak that isn't allowed in American now
he talked science! Get 'im!
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.
No, it isn't. Every Bio textbook I have that discusses it (more than a dozen), is very clear that sex is determined by gonad function/gamete production. Some XY individuals will never produce sperm. Some will produce ova. Some XX individuals will never produce ova. I would bet there is probably at least one case out there where an XX individual produced sperm through some kind of insanely unlikely nondisjunction. And none of this even begins to touch on the variability within the XXY and XO groups. Even if you want to not consider other species, chromosomes ain't it.
They donβt seem to understand that even if XX/XY differentiation is right 99.99% of the time, there are a fuck ton of humans in the world and even small improbabilities are likely to be represented. We obviously shouldnβt make laws that discriminate against minorities, and these people really exist all over the place.
Republicans want to erase the idea of nonbinary people because their tiny minds canβt handle the scientific nuance.
Yup. A huge amount of people grow up to adulthood not knowing they're intersex until they get tested. Talking percentages ain't shit when your population is an entire dominant species!
According to the wording of the order, at conception you are female if you are "producing larger reproductive cells" or male if you are "producing smaller reproductive cells". Since at conception no one is making either reproductive cells, then I agree with the stance that the order says no one is male or female now.
Weβre all non-binary
I think this is actually more gender abolitionist if you think about it. No one is producing reproductive cells/gametes at conception. They begin by producing undifferentiated stem cells that will later specialize into all of the other cell types.
Male and female now officially retired. Rejoice!
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.
Turns out they were always asking, "What is a woman?" because they had no idea either.
I didn't consider this option, but it seems to be an easy fix to the whole gender thing. Everyone is female. period. *(no pun intended)
Own that period joke. You conceived it, whether accidental or not, so you should carry it to term.
so you should carry it to term.
Are required to carry it to term. Aborting the pun is a crime.
Silly Matthew, still believing that words written by Trump's administration mean anything...
Same mistake many opponents of the Nazis made in the beginning.
Fascists don't play by the rules, whatever they say or write only has meaning as long as it benefits them.
When you point out inconsistencies in what they wrote yesterday, they laugh at you. And then they shoot you.
It's cool and all to dunk on their logical fallacies, but don't think for one second that their poor wording will stop them from enacting untold violence against trans people.
Listen I get that these people have never taken a science class, but I damn well know at least some of them watched Jurassic Park.
...that's not how that works.
Early stages of development are bipotential, which means they could develop either way, they're not initially female.
Around 6-7 weeks, if carrying a Y chromosome carrying the gene SRY, they develop into testes. If there are two X chromosomes, then ovaries develop.
Now, I'm not gonna disagree with this but I reckon it's a bit confusing to be changed so suddenly.
Can we have an adaptation period? It's gonna be tough to break the habit in such short notice.
So if all men were women at conception, then that would make all men transsexual......
Trump increases the wage gap rather unconventionally.
I suppose there is also the argument to be made that Trump made everyone nonbinary, as a zygote has no apparent sex characteristics or gamete production, being a single cell.
What a roundabout way to get unisex bathrooms.
Congratulations to women, your public bathrooms will be less crowded. To my trans brothers and sisters, see you at the sink!
Project 2025 essentially classifies women as second-class citizens.
This executive order essentially classifies all citizens as women.
Precedent essentially exempts millionaires & billionaires from legal prosecution.
All non-wealthy people are now vassals or less. Welcome to feudalism 2.0.
To all newly inducted members, I think I can speak on our collective behalf when I say βslay.β
They will probably correct it to say β when life startsβ. Problem solved!
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.
The fem-cel community has already accepted me even though I'm a cis straight white guy who's asexual (so voluntarily celibate) but I'm happy I can now finally check one box and accept myself as a femcel.
