Is Trump Going To Check Our Genitals Or What?
"The executive order signed by President Trump, titled “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” contains provisions that could significantly impact the recognition of gender identity on official documents. Section 3(d) of the order directs U.S. agencies to ensure identification documents accurately reflect the “biological sex” of the holder as defined under the order."
So how are they going to do this exactly? Check what is between our legs? Do a chromosome test? Take their best guess? What?
Note they are going to ignore your government ID supposedly. But how?
Olympics women's sports tried many things over the years and none worked all that well. Testosterone test? Many women athletes had varying levels and all cisgender women have some. They had a not so good time trying to decide if some level meant you weren't a woman for purpose of competition.
Chrosomes? Olympics tried that too. Didn't work so good for women assigned female at birth who were XXX or XY but androgen insensitive so they were assigned female at birth and developed fully female as well except chromosomes. And chromosomes are invisible and not that fast to check for tens to hundreds of travelers.
What exactly is gender anyway? To most people it mixes at least chromosomal sex, what sex you would assigned at birth by usually what seems to be between your legs, gender expression, and whatever all goes into gender identity which likely includes brain sex differentiated settings during fetal development.
So Trump decrees that all this complexity that is the real world concerning gender and well studied for many decades is actually simplistic and subject to whatever he says it is. And he claims this is to "protect women"? Protect them from what? Which women? Apparently not trans women who were assigned male at birth. Apparently not trans men who were assigned female at birth. Apparently not cisgender women whose chromosomes may not be XX. Apparently not nonbinary people who do not identify with either binary gender Trump decrees is all there is. All of those can be subject to arbitrary actions from embarrassment to very real danger and arbitrary persecution.
All at the mere decree of the Almighty Trump whose decision trump relevant facts, science, medical knowledge and the lives and well-being of real people.
