it’s so wild that trumps executive order has that bit about sex being assigned at conception.

I assume this is the anti-abortion position being encoded into the anti-trans legislation. no one is testing what gametes their embryo has— such a thing isn’t possible (embryos don’t produce them yet; there are primordial germ cells, but they aren’t differentiated as sperm or egg cells).

it just goes to show that gender/sex policing is never based on any science— there is no "scientific" definition to what “female sex” or "male sex" is. It doesn’t exist as a material reality. It is a legal construct that is assigned with the first legal documentation assigned to a subject—the birth certificate.

and that isn’t based on chromosomes or gametes. it’s a decision based on whether a doctor thinks the infant will be mostly likely to be capable of penetrative heterosexual sex as “female” or “male.” because penetrative heterosexual sex is the point, the determination is based on whether the clitoris is long enough to penetrate (in which case “it’s a boy”) and if not whether there is a vaginal canal deep enough for penetration (in which case “it’s a girl”) and if neither or both are true the child’s body is forcibly surgically altered.

they can't define sex "biologically" because it is not a "biological" reality. it will be determined, as always, punitively, on a case by case basis on varying traits and legal documentation, to enforce patriarchal economic systems that depend on misogyny and transmisogyny.

one of the most telling parts from the executive order, to me, was this (emphasis mine):

"The erasure of sex in language and policy has a corrosive impact not just on women but on the validity of the entire American system. Basing Federal policy on truth is critical to scientific inquiry, public safety, morale, and trust in government itself."

this bit gives the game away with how important the institution and enforcement of sex assignment is to capitalism, the united states economy, the carceral/legal system, and the ideological buy-in to us-american hegemony.

I just read that Donald Trump and his circus took down a website called reproductiverights.gov

This was a website to help women learn about their reproductive rights in the US and to find health care.

This is absolutely disgusting so I’ll share in this post some resources in case you need them:

It's tiring how every time there's a new anti-trans law a million liberals try to um actually 🤓☝️ the wording as if conservative politicians are fairies who will melt away as a result of a law being poorly worded. Yay everyone is technically considered female now because of a bad definition of female-ness, how does that fact help me not get unpersoned? It really only matters if you're a lawyer arguing in court

Hi everyone! I've been talking with Sami and their family is in pretty urgent need of help right now.

After 475 days of genocide, hunger, cold, destruction, death, and suffering, Sami's only hope was to find his home. Unforturnately, in the last few hours, some of his brothers went to the area of his home, and on the way, they were hit by an explosion from war remnants. They found no home, as it had been demolished and turned into sand. They now urgently need your help with donations so they can get treatment abroad, as their injuries are severe. You are their only hope. Your simple donation can make a big difference, and your participation also plays a significant role.

Please, if you can, send some help their way so they can treat their injuries! Time is of the essence.

It’s still controversial to say fat dudes are hot and what’s worse is that the people that get angry at that statement are generally straight men. Women like fat dudes. Bisexual dudes like fat dudes. Gay dudes like fat dudes. Yet when someone, especially a straight woman, voices her attraction to fat men there are hordes of other dudes in her comments saying “Nuh uhhhhh you’re lying.” How would you know? You don’t fuck men.

As we see a barrage of evil executive orders come in, they are not immediately enforceable and will takes months or years to implement.

That’s still not great, but don’t let these pile up to the point of hopelessness. Take a breath, and look community leaders who will fight it every step of the way.

"Today it's horrible here. Lives are being lost every day and tragically some of the individuals are our own neighbors. Everytime we hear artillery bombing sounds we think we are next. Our fear and desperation are at its peak and the situation has become utterly terrifying. Immediate action is urgently required. I'm so tired of this. We can't handle it no more." - Hala in a message to @/jinforjustice on ig
