So, Trump became the first female president of the United States.

First to transition, too! Sworn in as a man (citation needed) and decreed herself a woman after.

[–] Nunar@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago

Yes. It did.

Technically we are neither sex at conception since the article is saying that there are no genital developed at conception. Such a strange way to word this. He could have just said, born with a penis or a vagina. Is he worried about people trying to change their child’s gender in the womb?

It was a nod to the personhood from conception pro-birth argument. But since now Americans get their legal sex assigned at conception, I guess they are all non-binary.

This sort of thing always happens when you try to shoe horn a messy reality into your own personal beliefs. Coming up next: President Trump declares that Pi is exactly 3.

It's such a shame Will Farrell and Adam McKay's Regan with dementia movie was perceived as too distasteful to proceed... the memes would have been so relevant

[–] quicklime@lemm.ee 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why were they making a movie about Donald Regan?

Oh, I don't mind anyone disrespecting Ronald Reagan or Donald Regan. It is the disrespect for the reader that is bothersome.

[–] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Yes, and if you think that makes a goddamn bit of difference on how they intend to implement it, you are just as stupid as them

[–] voracitude@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Man, I feel like a woman 🎵🎶🎵

It's funny to point out this administration's complete lack of understanding of… well, everything, but don't think that a sloppily worded executive order is going to give you any protection in real life.

AT BEST you're going to get a rational judge who rules in your favor because of it. Until your case is appealed and the Trump appointee reverses that decision.

But in reality you're not going to have the money/time/energy to challenge this bullshit because the effects are going to be felt a tiny bit at a time, administered by faceless bureaucrats who are too afraid for their own lives to stand up to the fascist machine on your behalf. We're laughing at this order because it's not factually correct but IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER IF IT'S CORRECT because they're going to follow it anyway.
