    What if due to age, condition or procedure you don’t produce any?

    I feel even if they went with this, there could be better ways to define it.

    I for one accept my new government assigned gender!

    Now when are they passing that government assigned discord kitten legislation?

    It’s cool and all to dunk on their logical fallacies, but don’t think for one second that their poor wording will stop them from enacting untold violence against trans people.

    …that’s not how that works.

    Early stages of development are bipotential, which means they could develop either way, they’re not initially female.

    Around 6-7 weeks, if carrying a Y chromosome carrying the gene SRY, they develop into testes. If there are two X chromosomes, then ovaries develop.

      Except it is pointless to talk about any of that, since the order defines what male and female means.

      Males are those belonging at conception to the sex producing small reproductive cells (aka sperm).

      Females are those belonging at conception to the sex producing large reproductive cells (aka eggs).

      Since at conception I (and everyone else) did not produce either, I am now neither male nor female according to the new definitions.

      These posts just show that the loudest people on the left are just as scientifically illiterate as the loudest people on the right :( I mean, it’s mostly just reading with understanding they fail at, not even lacking knowledge…

      But aren’t the sex chromosomes decided at the moment of conception (or even with the sperm/egg). They need to work on their bigotry, it’s frankly just basic biology. “their legal gender is their sex chromosomes upon conception”. Although that opens another can of worms for those people whose chromosomes don’t match their genitals, but I’m sure they can throw a few asterisks in there to sort that out.

      Except in cases like Swyer syndrome where even with a Y chromosome, gonads won’t develop properly and the person will develop normal female genitals instead.

    The fem-cel community has already accepted me even though I’m a cis straight white guy who’s asexual (so voluntarily celibate) but I’m happy I can now finally check one box and accept myself as a femcel.

      But are you voluntarily celibate if you are asexual? I don’t mean it as a gatcha or something, but as a philosophical question.

      In my social circle, the asexual people seem like they would probably prefer to be non- asexual because it is easier to find a partner for life if sex is not a no-go. So clearly their asexuality is not voluntary, they just are what they are. now acting on the involuntary part of yourself, is that a voluntary action?

      (Sidenote: I am not saying that these asexual people aren’t accepting who they are, or think it is bad that they are what they are. Personally I think being pansexual is the best because you got all the options, while I seem to be straight and I am very comfortable with it and feel like I am living a comfortable and fulfilling life with my partner. So I really mean 0 hate towards asexual people or anyone else. I am just talking about the practical impaction of sexualities in our given social norm)

        Much like anything else, being asexual is a spectrum. It took me a very long time to figure out I was and that’s because I personally didn’t get any physical satisfaction out of sex, but I enjoyed the part where I made my partner absolutely melt with pleasure. Feeling romantic or emotional pleasure from sex is not uncommon, especially when coupled with someone who gets a ton of pleasure from it. That being said, I haven’t had sex in over a year, and from the way things look, I’m not going to for a very long time. I won’t say it’s voluntary though it’s definitely not because my partner doesn’t want to.

          Oh interesting 🤔 from the people that I have a more in-deph conservation, I understood that sex wasn’t enjoyable for them because they felt really uncomfortable with it which resulted in a non-satisfying experience for the partner and in turn, generated a feeling of failure to be a good partner in them.

          It is really interesting to hear different perspectives. Thanks for sharing and please anyone who wants to, share with me your thoughts and feelings on the matter!

    What a roundabout way to get unisex bathrooms.

    Congratulations to women, your public bathrooms will be less crowded. To my trans brothers and sisters, see you at the sink!

    I didn’t consider this option, but it seems to be an easy fix to the whole gender thing. Everyone is female. period. *(no pun intended)

      It’s a bad faith question that deserves a hillarious answer

      “What is a woman? Why it’s someone whom, family members aside, you’ve never seen naked.”

      “What is a woman? The kind of people at the bar who cover their drinks when you get too close.”

      “What is a woman? A MISERABLE LITTLE PILE OF SECRETS!”

      “What is a woman? Well these curvy people who smell nice and go by she/her pronouns and sometimes they have big meaty penises to suck, but only if you’re lucky.”

      “What is a woman? According to Donald Trump’s day 1 executive order; literally every American Citizen.”

      That’s always what I figured, that they’d fumble if you turned the question around and asked them to define woman or man. Buncha chumps.

      E: le spelling

        Nah, they have no issue with a tautological definition. “A woman is a female human that’s born a girl” makes perfect sense to anyone that’s asking anyone else to define what a woman is.

          They had months to draft the definition in the executive order. Perhaps more than a year if it was started internally by Project 2025. They still fucked it up.
