In what Trump's administration has branded a "common sense" order, the government will recognise only two sexes, ending all federal funding or recognition of gender identities.

    I always find it weird that conservatives think this is some kind of gotcha for binary trans people. Like, okay, this is a shitty thing to say to nonbinary or intersex people and is both untrue and cruel. But how is this relevant to me, a binary trans woman?

    Like… hello my gender isn’t ‘trans’, it’s ‘woman’. Idiots.

      In fairness part of the decree is that it also can’t be changed, so definitely still an impact to both binary and nonbinary trans folks. Also love the downplay of enby impacts, if it doesn’t impact you it doesn’t matter?

          How does your post contradict what they said? You asked how it impacts a binary trans person, and they explained that the part about it being unchangeable is supposed to target y’all (and all trans people).

          I know a lot of us, probably most of us, haven’t changed so much as taken ownership of who we always were. So yeah I guess technically this order isn’t a “gotcha”, but unfortunately that’s not how transphobes see it. :(

      From the article:

      The definition of male and female will be based on whether people are born with eggs or sperm, rather than on their chromosomes.

      What did you say your gender was?

              True Feminism means acknowledging that women can be just as fallible as men.

                As a lesbian I always hear from straight women “I wish I could be gay like you it must be so much better!” Like nope women are equally shitty!!

              Not sure I’d call a world made up of breeders, the undesirable, and Elon’s sperm bank, much of an utopia.

      It’s only shitty to intersex people, non-binary is a gender not a sex.
