Sarah McBride laughs off Trump’s anti-trans executive order: ‘He just declared everyone a woman’
The first openly transgender member of Congress mocked Trump’s executive order
Summary
Representative Sarah McBride, the first out trans congresswoman, criticized Donald Trump’s executive order defining gender as strictly male or female.
McBride points out that biologically all embryos develop as female until the SRY gene activates weeks after conception.
The order, which ties gender to reproductive cells at conception, unintentionally categorizes all humans as female from conception based on biological facts.
McBride’s remarks highlight scientific flaws in the policy.
You're viewing part of a thread.
...ignoring the fact that sex selected artificial insemination of sperm...
Common misconception. We say it's sex selected, but it's actually chromosome selected, and the criteria is chromosomes that determine sex characteristics.
Regardless, the order as written does not define sex as the presence or absence of the Y chromosome in humans. It defines it as "what type of reproductive cell (based on size of all things) a zygote would produce if unaltered at the time of conception". At that time, without any other hormone changes, or activation/deactivation of genes affecting sex characteristics, the resulting organism would produce eggs instead of sperm.
To make a long story shorter. Intersex people exist, and infertile people exist. What sex would they be, based on this XO? As written, there are only 2 options, and neither apply to those people.
Also, this...
...fact that sex selected artificial insemination of sperm (not embryo) exists.
... doesn't actually exist. Looks like you are using a misunderstanding of science politically.
that's sex election, you facetious twat, and it most certainly exists
No. It's not. Insemination of SPERM is not a thing that exists. Sperm is what you inseminate with! You have literally 0 ideas what you are talking about, even when I put it in fucking bold for you.
Dude, you're so full of shit, it's common as all hell. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6332832/#%3A~%3Atext=Sexed+semen+produced+by+flow%2Cmore+frequently+in+the+farms.
You didn't even read the fucking article did you.
First of all, from the article's Methods section...
In the procedures of the flow cytometric method, X‐chromosome‐bearing sperm and Y‐chromosome‐bearing sperm were fluorescently stained, separated from each other by analyzing the difference in the DNA content,
And here is what I said...
Common misconception. We say it’s sex selected, but it’s actually chromosome selected, and the criteria is chromosomes that determine sex characteristics.
So the article absolutely backs up my point.
Second... From the Wikipedia page on Insemination...
Insemination is the introduction of sperm (in semen) into a female or hermaphrodite's reproductive system in order to fertilize the ovum through sexual reproduction
Sperm is not the the thing that gets inseminated. It's the thing that is inseminated into something else. Yes I know this is pedantic point, but if you don't even understand that, after I put it in fucking bold for you twice, then any credibility you have on mamilian reproduction is basically on the same level as trump.
What I am not reading is this or any more of your crap.
It's okay, clearly you didn't read anything before this interaction anyway.
Read enough to know you don't know shit.
What I am not reading is this or any more of your crap.
So either you lied, or what I said isn't crap. Hmmmmmmm...
