The mind boggles with the sheer absurdity of this administration, and it's not poised to improve. Be safe, y'all!

On one hand, the implication is funny. On the other hand, facts and logic have never stopped fascists before.

Exactly. It's fun to joke, but people are reading the order way too literally. It doesn't say, "those who at conception can produce a large reproductive cell." It says something like, "those who at conception belong to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell." Any court will be able to see that the clear interpretation is that sex is defined by genetics and that anyone with XX chromosomes belongs to the female sex.

You can't produce reproductive cells at conception. But if you asked most people, they would still have no problem referring to the sex of a zygote or fetus. They would simply be operating off of the genetic definition of sex.
