"Self later explained himself in a post on X, formerly Twitter, saying that “It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female,”"

But she is one of those two fucking sexes you piece of garbage.

    He can't even use this because the very thing he's referencing (the Trump EO to define the two sexes) defines it by "at conception". At conception, every fetus begins as female before the other chromosome kicks in. Conclusion, Representative McBride is a woman. But so is he. Not that it matters.

    Literally either way, that dumb fuck is wrong.

    More accurately at conception everyone is sexless. No one has reproductive organs at conception.

    Oh yes of course, but we can't use "genderless" with these people because they just disengage. It's slightly easier in my experience to just say we were all female first, which is why males have nipples.

    Not that we should be looking for logic and reason from the bigots, but an executive order applies to the executive branch.

    Maybe Keith Self needs to go back to elementary social studies to figure out which branch he is working for.
