Trump increases the wage gap rather unconventionally.

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 was under the impression that the sperm that fertilizes the egg carries either an X chromosome or Y chromosome and that's what determines male or female. So that would mean conception is in fact when this gets decided, no? What am I missing here?

[–] Tudsamfa@lemmy.world 11 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Sex isn't directly determined by chromosomes, it is determined by someone taking a look at the sex organs. This works for most people, but embryonic development is like most things complicated and there are a lot of factors that make it more difficult than "male" and "female". Examples are people with more than 2 chromosomes or that have absorbed a sibling in the womb. Difference of sex development is estimated to affect 1/100 people.

So when the doc takes a look just before 6 weeks, she must declare "the embryo has ovaries and no testes - female" at every single person. At literal conception: "Idk know, man, it is just 1 cell".

Also, imagine how awkward it is to be the determining doc in that situation.

This was the only possibility for the Incel Movement to ever get touched by a ~~women~~ female. Congrats to them.

Trump abolished gender reveal parties, which is kinda positive honestly

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 77 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

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)

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 57 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (2 children)

Own that period joke. You conceived it, whether accidental or not, so you should carry it to term.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

so you should carry it to term.

Are required to carry it to term. Aborting the pun is a crime.

There sure are a lot more lesbians than there used to be.

Turns out they were always asking, "What is a woman?" because they had no idea either.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 13 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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."

[–] Hexarei@programming.dev 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The best part is that a good faith answer to the question is surprisingly trans affirming

So if all men were women at conception, then that would make all men transsexual......

[–] SuperIce@lemmy.world 177 points 16 hours ago (24 children)

Technically no. They aren't male or female, they're undifferentiated. Since we're neither male nor female at conception, this order means males and females don't actually exist at all.

Get out of here with that big science speak that isn't allowed in American now

Trump declares ~~himself~~ herself the first female President of the USA? 😳

(Edit: Excuse me Mrs. President, I had misgendered you.)

Silly Matthew, still believing that words written by Trump's administration mean anything...
Same mistake many opponents of the Nazis made in the beginning.
Fascists don't play by the rules, whatever they say or write only has meaning as long as it benefits them.
When you point out inconsistencies in what they wrote yesterday, they laugh at you. And then they shoot you.

[–] natecox@programming.dev 49 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Listen I get that these people have never taken a science class, but I damn well know at least some of them watched Jurassic Park.

AFAT: Assigned Female At Trump

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 152 points 17 hours ago (6 children)

I think this is actually more gender abolitionist if you think about it. No one is producing reproductive cells/gametes at conception. They begin by producing undifferentiated stem cells that will later specialize into all of the other cell types.

Male and female now officially retired. Rejoice!

Those darned conservatives and their liberal agenda!

[–] FourPacketsOfPeanuts@lemmy.world 58 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

MAGA: "truth and science needs to bow to holy scripture!"

The Bible: "For in Christ there is.. neither male nor female..." (Galatians 3:28)

MAGA: "wait, not like that!"
