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.
It has slowed them before. Make them have to keep rewriting it to survive challenges
Make them deal with the companies who don’t trust the next admin won’t just go the opposite way. Apple for instance is keeping TikTok delisted from the App Store despite trump trying to extend it
Make them have to deal with federal worker strikes
Make them have to deal with local & state officals who won’t comply with invalid orders
There is a fight. Don’t let them get away without one
How is it not already abundantly clear that this is not “before.” There is no precedent for what is currently happening
Who “makes” them exactly? This is fascism now. The person with the biggest army gets what they want, and everyone else better shut the fuck up or die.
This isn’t fascism yet, even though you’re fast-tracked to it.
No, it is. It is at the very least, Ur-fascism as described by Umberto Eco, and has been for at least a decade.
If electing Trump to a second term, and handing the entire federal government over to Republicans isn’t fascism yet, I have to wonder what one’s definition of the word is…
