Trump two-gender edict would upend 'X' identity on passports

The order, a Trump administration official told reporters Monday, is aimed at defending women from gender ideology extremism and restoring biological truths to the federal government. Male and female are sexes that are not changeable, and they are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality, the official said.

(909 posts)He is expected to install a policy that gender is sex as assigned at birth, but so far all we have is his statement at about 12:28 pm. That could change later today or this week. It will then remain to be seen how the policy is framed and enacted, and decisions will need to be made for people who have changed gender markers to M or F, as well as people who have had various forms of medical intervention.

Lynn, as he was introduced to me, was living as a male, and had big bushy sideburns.
He showed me a picture of himself from his Miss Orange County days, and she was very attractive, a literal Beauty Queen.
He was also a good looking guy.
The best of both worlds!
And how does "the government" ban such people who were not born distinctly male or female?
FUCK TRUMP & ALL MAGATS!!!
