Donald Trump and the Republican Party are having some difficulty defining gender.  Whoever wrote Trump's Executive Order on gender identity totally botched the science.  By Republican definition, we are all female.

(a)  “Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female.  “Sex” is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of “gender identity.”

(b)  “Women” or “woman” and “girls” or “girl” shall mean adult and juvenile human females, respectively.

(c)  “Men” or “man” and “boys” or “boy” shall mean adult and juvenile human males, respectively.

(d)  “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.

(e)  “Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.*

Paying particular note to points (d) and (e), stating that a "female" is a person who, at conception, belongs to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.  That's all of us, boys and girls, as all embryos are genetically female "at conception."

Yes, according to biological understanding, all human embryos at conception are considered "genetically female" because the default development pathway in the absence of a Y chromosome leads to female characteristics; meaning the sex is determined at conception based on the sperm's chromosome. 

If the Republicans who wrote this Executive Order do not understand the state of the embryo at conception and the biological sequence involved in becoming male, how can they be trusted to establish gender identity?
