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.
