Sarah McBride laughs off Trump’s anti-trans executive order

The first openly transgender member of Congress mocked Trump’s executive order

Summary

Representative Sarah McBride, the first out trans congresswoman, criticized Donald Trump’s executive order defining gender as strictly male or female.

McBride points out that biologically all embryos develop as female until the SRY gene activates weeks after conception.

The order, which ties gender to reproductive cells at conception, unintentionally categorizes all humans as female from conception based on biological facts.

McBride’s remarks highlight scientific flaws in the policy.

      You didn’t even read the fucking article did you.

      First of all, from the article’s Methods section…

      In the procedures of the flow cytometric method, X‐chromosome‐bearing sperm and Y‐chromosome‐bearing sperm were fluorescently stained, separated from each other by analyzing the difference in the DNA content,

      And here is what I said…

      Common misconception. We say it’s sex selected, but it’s actually chromosome selected, and the criteria is chromosomes that determine sex characteristics.

      So the article absolutely backs up my point.

      Second… From the Wikipedia page on Insemination…

      Insemination is the introduction of sperm (in semen) into a female or hermaphrodite’s reproductive system in order to fertilize the ovum through sexual reproduction

      Sperm is not the the thing that gets inseminated. It’s the thing that is inseminated into something else. Yes I know this is pedantic point, but if you don’t even understand that, after I put it in fucking bold for you twice, then any credibility you have on mamilian reproduction is basically on the same level as trump.

          It’s okay, clearly you didn’t read anything before this interaction anyway.

              What I am not reading is this or any more of your crap.

              So either you lied, or what I said isn’t crap. Hmmmmmmm…

                  I did. I saw you replying again with context after you said you weren’t going to “read any more of my crap”. I’m not saying you have room temp IQ and the self control of a gerbil with a brain fungus, but that is definitely something that someone meeting those characteristics would do. They’d probably reply to this comment too, with some snarky BS rather than actually defend the point we were discussing all along about the XO issued by trump defining sex by production of a reproductive cell at conception, and not defining it by presence of the Y chromosome, which would at least have a little more support by scientific models of human reproduction and development.
