OK, I'm not a law expert, I'm not a lawyer, I'm not, but something strikes me as odd about the anti-transgender EO [View all]

So someone please tell me what I'm not getting here. Let's review the executive order:

blah, blah, blah

(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.

blah, blah, blah

Conception is really important to this EO it seems. So if these are post-conception embryos...



Where is the part that produces the large OR small reproductive cell that gets them determined as male or female?

Where is it and what is producing or storing the reproductive cells that determines their sex?

What would Trump's executive order declare the left-most big one down there?
