That’s so fucking rage inducing, and then I read the article.

First paragraph

citing the 24-year-old’s future as a gynecologist

Holy fucking shit that’s fucking EVIL

Unfortunately this isn’t true, which is too bad because it’d be hilarious if it were.

The “everyone is female” thing doesn’t apply until the embryonic stage, weeks after fertilization, while the EO specifies “at conception” which is the germinal stage when the offspring is only a zygote. As a zygote it has no phenotypical sex, only chromosomal sex.

“Everyone is female” may be funny, but bad information doesn’t help anyone and it certainly doesn’t save trans lives.

The only unintended consequence of the EO that I can see is that anyone who’s infertile (specifically anyone who doesn’t produce sperm or eggs) as a direct result of their DNA is now legally unrecognizable by the federal government.
