Summary

Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring only two sexes, male and female, based on reproductive cells at conception, banning gender-affirming care, and limiting federal recognition of gender diversity.

Experts, including Dr. Richard Bribiescas, president of the Human Biology Association, criticized the policy as nonsensical, stating, “Clearly, this order is not fully informed by current biological science.”

Biologists noted the order oversimplifies human biology, ignores intersex individuals, and conflates sex and gender.

Critics warned it advances anti-trans rhetoric and risks legal challenges.

    It is possible to give someone a concussion with only words. The key is, saying something so ghastly against what they believe and backing it up with as much fact as possible they literally concuss themselves with the fight they produce in their own mind against the encroaching reality they simply don’t want to believe exists. That girl that’s being mean to you when you haven’t even talked to her. Tell her when she turns 30 the only men interested in her will be college guys that want to run a train. At 40 she’ll need a friend to come along or they won’t join. This crushes her self image of an “alpha sexual being” and forces the reality she is actually an aging mortal with a ticking clock on her ovaries. You should play with your own variation because if everyone says what I said, it loses potency. Kinda how calling them future cat ladies doesn’t bite as much as it did in the 80’s because everyone did it. Or calling everyone a Nazi loses potency when you do it all the time. Think along the lines of actually plausible. “When you turn 40 you better have a good education you’ll need it to pay for sex”, or, “you’re so stupid you’re definitely walking in a snow storm for groceries for you and your senior cat when you’re no longer pretty enough to get guys to do it for you.” Give them a chance to process, and don’t even try to talk to them after, let them retreat to their friends and adapt to their new existence. They might do baby talk. Its hilarious. I hope someone verbally concusses trump. He has earned it. Idk with his age and past covid exposure if he would be fit to do more than drool… Probably work if someone had hunter biden level evidence against one of trumps kids. Messes up his dynasty.
