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.

      My charitable reading is that Donald has transitioned 175million people against their will. He should be ban from going near any school we don’t want him trying to forceably transition more people.

      Maybe one could argue that sex doesn’t produce reproductive organs, the sex organs do?
