    Technically we are neither sex at conception since the article is saying that there are no genital developed at conception. Such a strange way to word this. He could have just said, born with a penis or a vagina. Is he worried about people trying to change their child’s gender in the womb?

      It was a nod to the personhood from conception pro-birth argument. But since now Americans get their legal sex assigned at conception, I guess they are all non-binary.

    This sort of thing always happens when you try to shoe horn a messy reality into your own personal beliefs. Coming up next: President Trump declares that Pi is exactly 3.

    Yes, and if you think that makes a goddamn bit of difference on how they intend to implement it, you are just as stupid as them

    It’s funny to point out this administration’s complete lack of understanding of… well, everything, but don’t think that a sloppily worded executive order is going to give you any protection in real life.

    AT BEST you’re going to get a rational judge who rules in your favor because of it. Until your case is appealed and the Trump appointee reverses that decision.

    But in reality you’re not going to have the money/time/energy to challenge this bullshit because the effects are going to be felt a tiny bit at a time, administered by faceless bureaucrats who are too afraid for their own lives to stand up to the fascist machine on your behalf. We’re laughing at this order because it’s not factually correct but IT DOESN’T FUCKING MATTER IF IT’S CORRECT because they’re going to follow it anyway.
