Showing Original Post only (View all)Believe it or not, this IS a serious question... [View all]
trump has ruled that the determination of a person's sex is decided by the sex of the zygote at conception.
Which, as biological studies have shown us, for every human is "female".
On certain specific documents, it is stated that it is a criminal offense to be untruthful when filling out required information such as a person's age, full name, social security number, sex, etc.
My question...
Must we now all list our sex as female when such a declaration must be made truthfully by law?
Would anyone be committing a criminal offense by listing anything other than female as a response?
(Could this be the basis of a legal argument against trump's new rule?)

Your example was one of the main reasons the "X" designation was added to the passport under the Biden administration

The Executive Order does not mention "genotype", however (or "gene" or "genetic")

Yes, trump's order specifies that our sex is determined "at conception", therefore, zygotes.
Think. Again.

In this case, the science provides a valid legal basis for striking down the executive order.

I agree with that. They must be constitutional. I don't agree with this EO. Hopefully it will be struck down.

I think it means that all American citizens are now classified as female by law.
