Trump to sign order proclaiming there are only two sexes
Trump to sign order proclaiming there are only two sexes
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.

Ok.
He's wrong and we'll all just ignore him and continue existing.
Medical science will continue showing that sex isn't and never has been a binary either.
Laws can't override nature.
Problem is this means that things we were hoping to get like having hormone replacement therapy actually approved by the FDA for use for transgender care will not happen and any enforcement of anti-discrimination or laws against hate speech at the federal level will no longer apply to trans and non-binary people. This will allow, for example, insurance companies to not have to cover transgender care. There is already a huge waiting list for people who are seeking care in the US due to the lack of specialists (myself included), so that list is likely to get longer. And likely any doctors who might have been planning to take up transgender care specialties may have their programs lose their funding. It's a huge impact to a lot of areas of government and many industries to have the federal government not recognize transgender care as valid and not recognize non-binary people like me as people at all.
Also, I'm fortunate enough to live in a state that is friendly to transgender and non-binary people, but my employer is not based here, so the insurance I have doesn't have to obey local laws that don't allow for blanket policies banning coverage of transgender care. So, the federal laws do matter.
Thank you for the correction and expansion.
Hoping people will start making their own hormones etc. I understand the rest is shit though and I hope we can all start looking after each other instead.
If they could read they’d have some strong feelings about this reality
The ability to read or not does not have anything to do with how much knowledge one can acquire, there are many ways to acquire knowledge.
Don't be ableist and harm people that don't deserve it please.
These people are just willfully ignorant fascists who think they can control reality
No need to ascribe any other features onto them that don't and won't harm them but will harm others.
It’s a reference to a joke from King of the Hill.
Okay, doesn't change it being ableist though.
I mean, the entire point of the clip in the show is Bobby is basically being a piece of shit and talking to a group of kids literally learning English. I don't think the source material is actually abelist in the shows context.
Doesn't stop politicians from trying...
yeah, it's fine. this is all just political theater and posturing.
just use another name/ term for sex and move on.
Or better yet get rid of the whole concept and be specific to body parts etc.
