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) βSexβ shall refer to an individualβs immutable biological classification as either male or female. βSexβ is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of βgender identity.β
(b) βWomenβ or βwomanβ and βgirlsβ or βgirlβ shall mean adult and juvenile human females, respectively.
(c) βMenβ or βmanβ and βboysβ or βboyβ shall mean adult and juvenile human males, respectively.
(d) βFemaleβ means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.
(e) βMaleβ 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?

you never know what you are going to be: a boy with a feminine side, a girl that is stronger than a man, a girl that is smart as a boy, a boy that is weak etc A gay man is seen as a man and treated as a man. A girl that has to be tough and mean to be respected by men. A girl with money is respected like a man. A girl with beauty is respected by all. Crazy times for all human beings. A girl with a gun gets big respect. A man with a gun is feared.
